Applause for the Nifo park furnitures would have been enough, but handstands are just awesome! Park furnitures Nifo together with the big Arkad planter for Lappset at the Elmia Park fair 2015. Thanks for the show Team Physix!

Plant your eyes on the Arkad planters, by Andreas Klippinge Design for Lappset. I was so happy when I first saw the final prototype that I had to plant myself in it! Beside holding a person, lots of floral joy fits in Arkad, or even a cactus or a tree!

The planter is perceived as soft by its arched sides and leaves the ground through an arch shape, giving the vessels a light impression. Arkad ships in flat packages and is assembled by a simple installation, the planters are also stackable and can be ordered in almost any colour you'd like!

The other week park furniture series Nifo got a final check, some last fine tuning and is now ready for the market! Nifo is designed by Andreas Klippinge Design for Lappset – Lappset Group Oy is one of the leading manufacturers of playground equipment worldwide and park equipment in Scandinavia.

Nifo is a complete range of furniture with sofa, two-seat sofa, bench, table, armchair and stool, all availble with or without armrests. The series has a soft rounded design made of wood and metal. A distinctive feature of Nifo is the small knob on the armrests. There one can hang their purse or bag, and of course, it is also helpful when to get up!

AKD participates in a multidisciplinary art exhibition in Italienska Palatset's (the Italian Palace) art gallery in Växjö, Sweden. Each exhibitor has been free to choose a work by themselves to display. While they've also been given the task to relate to the selected works of the other artists and show something that comments, associates and/or reflects the work.

The exhibitors are composer Thomas Liljeholm, visual artists Kerstin Cedell and Heider Ali, poet Tina Persson and designer Andreas Klippinge.

Andreas Klippinge Design will show parts of a furniture series for Essem Design, fragments of the design process behind the park furnitures Nifo for Lappset, as well as abstract design through the mystic cabinet Sort Guld (selected work by AKD) and the furniture family Whatever, and also a butter knife called Capella.

The exhibition runs until April 18, its opening hours are Wed–Sat at 11–14, welcome!
