Knu



I love this furniture from Knu. It's so stylish and contemporary, yet very unpretentious. The bookcase and filing cabinet designs are based strongly on the look of the good old fashioned, commonly available items, yet simply updated with the modern wood finish and steel legs. For me the filing cabinet immediately brings to mind those old grey steel office filing cabinets. I also love the contrast of the dark woodgrain finish and the bright shiny steel. The chair design also, is based on an old common design, but the curved steel legs give it a smooth, contemporary look. I very much like the way they've given mass produced, common designs an individual and edgy modern style.
