CHAMP

Produced by Johanson, 2024

Stools and side tables are small but significant interior decoration elements. Not only does their versatility create flexibility in terms of furnishing arrangements, but the colours they add can have a dramatic effect on the expression in a room. Thanks to their versatility such small furnishings fulfill an important function in furnishing solutions, helping to create dynamic environments, whether they are grouped together or used as solitaires and centre-pieces.

The Champ series comprises a padded stool and a small matching table. The two pieces take their inspiration from the same design idea – ideal companions that together form the perfect pair. Both incorporate a metal ring that provides a natural grip, which makes the stool and the table easy to move. Also, thanks to the generous choice of colours offered by Johanson, this metal ring serves as a design feature that can be ordered in either a contrasting colour or a matching shade. Place Champ as an individual focus of attention or grouped like mushrooms in the forest – some standing proud on their own, others gathered together in a cosy huddle.

Studio

Design means everyday culture. It helps us to enjoy and simplify life. We are fascinated by the process that starts with an idea, becomes substance and hopefully results in a long and pleasurable use for its qualities. That’s how we understand reasonability and sustainability.

Moritz Böttcher and Nikolaus Kayser

Böttcher & Kayser is a Berlin-based studio working in the fields of consumer product, furniture, lighting and interior design. It was founded in 2007 and is running today by Moritz Böttcher and Nikolaus Kayser.

While still in their studies they won the iF design award and red dot product design awards. Since founding the studio they were honoured with some of the most prestigious awards, such as several red dot and iF design awards, the Interior Innovation Award and the red dot „best of the best“. Their projects have been published in books and magazines around the world.
