Good to know

3 fixed glass shelves included.

Tempered glass is 4-5 times stronger and more resistant to breaking than regular glass. In case it would break, it shatters into many granular pieces to reduce the risk of injury.

Material

What is steel?

Steel has unique characteristics when it is stretched and shaped since it remains strong. It provides strength to everything from skyscrapers and cars to bed frames and outdoor furniture. The steel industry is moving in the direction of more energy-efficient production and stronger steel qualities. It doesn’t lose any of its properties when recycled and today steel is one of the most recycled materials in the world.

Designer thoughts

Designer thoughts

"I believe that the objects people like - and are proud of - should really be seen in their home. So when I designed VITTSJÖ series I wanted to take that idea a step further. I chose materials that really bring out books, vases and other favourite things. The straight, simple lines of the metal give the furniture a graphic expression and put an attractive frame around all your personal things. And the glass creates a light, airy feeling. I'm very happy with the results – the furniture looks great no matter what style you have in your room. And it comes at a great price, too!"
