Albert bench, white oiled oak

Massproduction’s Albert bench is a soulful combination of strong solid oak and soft, rounded shapes. The 110 cm wide Albert bench makes a nice, casual seat by a table or a characterful side table by its own. The Albert collection was inspired by bar stools of traditional English pubs, and perfected with a light and refined Scandinavian touch.

Massproductions is a Stockholm-based furniture company, run by the English designer Chris Martin and the Swedish designer Magnus Elebäck. Massproductions develops high quality, tactile furniture in a modernist spirit. Martin and Elebäck met in 1999 and have since worked side by side as consultants for the furniture industry. With the knowledge accumulated over the years, the two experienced designers decided to take the next step and in 2009 launched their own furniture company, Massproductions, under which they now produce and market their own collections of furniture using a new and simple method for developing products. By taking away the filters normally associated with a producer, they can make products that would otherwise get stuck somewhere in the development process.

The name of the company comes from the designers’ knowledge and passion for mass production. Their goal is to use industrial processes to create furniture which people can get excited about, something that gives them pride of ownership. The philosophy behind Massproductions is to harness the benefits, values and quality of volume production. At Massproductions, they believe that responsible and rational mass production benefits the consumer, the factory worker and everyone in between.
