3 Introducing KiBiSi for Globe Zero 4 Meet Scoop! Scoop Design KiBiSi Scoop is the logic output of a clear idea: The character of the series lies in the straight forward appearance a kind of ideogram of how it works. A design identity based on high quality manufacturing and the unique feeling in use makes Scoop a classic example of aesthetic sustainability designed to last for generations. KiBiSi partner and Head Of Design Lars Larsen. Hey, it Rocks Scoop is a family of contract market furniture designed for the overlap between private spaces and public areas. It is a chair for human spaces that differs from existing products on the market in terms of character and function. Inspired by the construction of the shovel loader, the innovative gyroscope like suspension system conveys a visual simplicity and lightness that relates perfectly to the Scandinavian design tradition. In terms of function, it allows the user to tilt the chair forward and backwards, which provides a feeling of being carried it simply rocks! KiBiSi is among Scandinavias most influential design groups today. KiBiSi has worked across a wide range of disciplines, creating everything from furniture and household objects, to bicycles and aircraft, and signature designs for clients across the globe. Urban Mobility, Architectural Illumination and Personal Electronics are among the global niches KiBiSi have consistently explored in recent years. KiBiSi merges the faculties of its founding partners into a symbiotic hybrid of design, architecture and ideation: Production know-how and design sensibility, big ideas and holistic perspective and the idea driven innovation. KiBiSi is the reference idea-driven industrial design firm. For KiBiSi ideas and products are intrinsically tied: Product should be the carrier of its brand idea rather than some designer s form and formula. KiBiSi designs often explore the potential of crossbreeding elements or attributes from different disciplines in to new functional and aesthetic hybrids. KiBiSi s work is present in many major museum collections, including the MoMA in New York, Paris Centre National d Arts Plastique and SFMoMA. We wanted to avoid cookie cutter fancying. We wanted to stay clear of a home decorative cutesy product and contract business polish. We needed to establish a new middle ground that would bridge private and public spaces. Yet, this wasn t an exercise in style. We had to come up with an entirely new suspension system to build the gravity of the product inside out. Says KiBiSi partner and creative director Jens Martin Skibsted _Globe_Zero.indd /04/

4 Sit as you are Meet Bubbles The classical possibilities within upholstering of furniture have been taken to a whole new level with Bubbles. A very unique upholstering technique and a genius construction design revive the traditional type of furniture. Inspired by soap bubbles, busk+hertzog have played with the expression and discovered a whole new type of multifunctional furniture. Bubbles is ideal as a central piece in areas such as hotel lobbies and corporate receptions or as a playful contribution to contemporary office décor. Bubbles is available in three different sizes. Simplicity. The Penny family comprises a simple, unconventional and charismatic coat hanger and a side table. Flemming Busk and Stephan Hertzog established their design studio in Today, their recognition goes far beyond Scandinavian borders. Their studio has won more than 40 of the most prestigious international design awards, including Red Dot Awards, IF Awards and Good Design Awards, making them the most award-winning Danish designers of their generation. Their design characteristics are sculptural, clean lines and a simple expression with minimal embellishment. Any decoration usually serves a function or is integral to the furniture. Bubbles Simply works Meet Penny The Penny family is both beautiful and functional at the same time. It does not compromise the primary function of a coat hanger or a table despite the distinct and unique expressions. The Penny family is designed by busk+hertzog and accompanies all pieces of the Globe Zero 4 collection. The Penny family is made of lacquered steel and is available in black and white powder coats. It is simple, distinct and it simply works _Globe_Zero.indd /04/

It all depends on the situation, the individual and the project Hannah just offers the possibilities. Behind every product lies a story. Sometimes it s obvious and can be read in the visual appearance of the product, and sometimes it is subtle and to be found in the detail.
