During the Milan fair Onecollection launched Finn Juhl's modern heir, "The Council Chair", designed by the Danish design duo Salto & Sigsgaard. The chair was especially developed for the United Nation's Headquarters in New York.
- People ask us what is especially Danish about this chair. Apart from the light Nordic colour and our love of using wood, we also think it has to do with our approach: We put a lot of effort into assembling all possible influences of the assignment before giving it shape. By doing so, we had a good chance of making something useful and relevant. Besides that, there is always a reason for what we do, and that often helps us in our discussions with the various teams we work with. For instance, we designed the secretaries’ chairs with armrests. At first the UN was hesitant to allocate chairs with armrests to employees with the status of secretary, but because we presented them with our intensions, we came to an agreement, Kasper Salto & Thomas Sigsgaard says in a statement.
