Hakola beds are a completely new range of products for a Finnish furniture company, Hakola. Hakola is a well-known Finnish family-owned furniture manufacturer that has been operating since 1960´s. The company is previously known especially for their range of upholstery seating and wooden furniture.
Nest, Form and Glory product families provide a new take on to sleeping. Bed is no more only some furniture piece for sleeping but rather it stands out and makes you smile. In the new scenario bed just does not blend into a room but becomes a statement furniture piece.
We have designed a bed platform that allows for personalization. All families are modular and come with different size options. There are three different size options, two leg and firmness options as well as three different headboard types to choose from. As a customer you can also dress up and personalize the designs by choosing from a wide range of color and textile options. Our ambition with the project was to create “canvases” that can be tweaked, and they still work with a very wide range of color and textile options.
“We had an idea of beds that would be hybrids of beds and sofas - you just love them you do not wanna hide them.”
FORM beds have a minimalistic, bold and a very modern look. Form beds are flirting with some design and form references from the 70’s. The design has something familiar from the past, but it has been brought to the contemporary time and context.
