Instant buffet

Sleek, practical storage becomes a help-yourself counter for drinks and snacks. The top of your EKET cabinets can be just as useful as the insides.

Take a seat

A stack of KYRRE stools uses very little space, so you can always have extra seating to place where and when you need.

Private view

If you layer the curtains at your windows, you can better control the light coming in, as well as your own privacy.

Furniture that’s flexible

Stackable stools and tables that slot underneath each other expand your entertainment options but are hardly noticeable while you use your living room day-to-day. Along with footstools, they’re easy to move into position so that you can all see the TV. If you’re serious about what you’re watching, curtains or blinds that can completely block light from hitting the screen are essential. With another, thinner layer behind you can let in the daylight but also enjoy some privacy at the same time.
