About

Ekstrem™ is not merely a chair, but a stand-alone object. It represents one of Norway’s first postmodern designs. Its unexpected geometrics allows you to sit forward with your feet on the ground, sideways with your legs draped over the armrests, or completely backward with the front of your torso against the chair’s back. A sitting experience that can only be described as out of the ordinary. Ekstrem™ consists of a steel frame covered in soft foam and is available in two upholstery options: Knit and Gentle 2.

Knit is a bespoke woolen upholstery textile by Devold. Made from one continuous thread, it provides an elasticity that is essential when fitted to the chair’s organic shape. Knit is soft and breathable and features a classic quadratic pattern.

Gentle 2 is a lush, knitted velvet upholstery textile by Kvadrat Febrik. The textile offers excellent stretchability and features a rich surface with an elegant shine. Ekstrem™ in Gentle 2 features visible seams which accentuate the chair’s distinct shape, adding to its strong character.

Materials

Ekstrem™ is an open framework constructed of fabric-covered foam over a steel frame. The chair consists of two identical mirror-facing steel frames which are covered by polyurethane foam. This provides a soft support layer covering all surfaces of the chair. The upholstery fabric is then manually fitted to the intricate cylinder forms. Finally, the two parts are carefully assembled together resulting in an extraordinarily eye-catching piece of furniture.

Meet the Designer

Terje Ekstrøm

Like many talented industrial designers of his generation, Terje Ekstrøm had one foot in crafts and the other in industry. He trained as a cabinet maker and upholsterer before studying interior and furniture design at the National College of Art and Design in Oslo, Norway. Ekstrøm’s work brought new vitality and independence to the Norwegian design scene of the 70s and 80s, a time of significant cultural and social change. He embodied a new wave of designers who challenged the traditional ideas of Scandinavian design, driven by a pursuit of originality and a bold disregard for norms.
