Orkester 082
Design: Mia Cullin
The inspiration for Orkester (orchestra) comes from the piano stool with its height-adjustable seat, but also from traditional wooden furniture joined together without screws and metal fittings. The collection is made of solid ash and consists of a stool and a bench with two and three seats. Orkester is perfect for schools, day care centers, waiting rooms, receptions, passageways, entrances and similar environments. Since the seats are height-adjustable, you can choose the seat height that suits you best, but still sit next to your friend, your parent or your child.

Care instructions for this piece of furniture
Wood is a living material whose grain has a natural variation in pattern, hue and lustre from the start. The wood is affected for example by humidity, temperature and season. Due to the fact that wood is a living material it means:
- Screws need to be tightened regularly, at least once a year.
- Massive tabletops might need to settle with up to 0.5% depending on the surroundings.
- Light from lamps and sunshine have a certain effect on the colour and lightness of the wood surface, so please let the same amount of light expose the whole surface.
To take care of the environment we lacquer a big part of our products with water-based products. This means:
- Spill of coffee or other liquids must be wiped off immediately.
- Please clean the surface with washing-up liquid or mild pH neutral cleanser and lukewarm water, wipe with clean water and wipe dry. Do not use cleaning agents which are alkaline, aggressive, contains abrasives or solvents.
- For disinfection non-alcohol based agents are recommended, such as Virkon or DAX Alco Free. Alcohol based agents should not be used.

Mia Cullin
Designer
A deeply nourished interest in traditional craftsmanship and visually striking constructions inspires Mia Cullin’s work with interior architecture as well as with design objects in all kind of sizes. Clean, straightforward and often basic geometric shapes are combined with handicraft details. ‘We designers have to be responsible,’ says Mia Cullin, ‘we ought to challenge every new product we make in a world that abounds with things: Does it have character? Does it tell a story? Does it have the force to crave its own place among existing objects?’
The Orkester collection, is right to the point: a bench inspired by traditional piano stools and their adjustable seats. The flat circular seats are attached with sturdy wooden screws to a piece of timber resting on four legs: choose whatever height suits tall or short, grown-up or child, a typological twist all made entirely in ash wood.
Mia Cullin’s work shows an honesty and truthfulness that expresses her roots in a Nordic design culture, while at the same time aiming beyond. Her interior architecture excels with a restricted colour palette, a thorough attention to detail, and not the least these intricate woven patterns playing with light and shadows.
Mia Cullin studied at Konstfack, University College of Arts, Crafts and Design, as well as abroad at the Denmark Design School in Copenhagen and at Accademia di Moda e Design in Florence. She founded her design studio after having graduated from Konstfack in 1998. Her works span from interior design to furniture and smaller objects. Among her clients are Swedish companies such as Materia, Zero, Nola, Ikea, Gemla, and Blå Station. Mia is also working with Finnish companies such as Adea and Woodnotes.
