Blå Station, a Swedish furniture design studio that's known for its distinct contemporary pieces, has expanded its range of outdoor furniture with the addition of the Oppo Betong and BOB Betong.
Although both pieces are crafted with hard concrete to last in any environment, they have the appearance of soft, cushioned furniture. The Oppo Betong, a single-seat chair, includes a rounded seat and supportive back. The simple but statement-worthy armless chair provides a whimsically futuristic aesthetic. The BOB Betong is larger and is able to seat multiple people. Similarly to the Oppo Betong, the BOB Betong looks as though it's covered in cushions and stuffed, with uniform lines carved into to give it this look.
With their unique designs that are sure to garner attention, Blå Station's latest furniture pieces can be integrated in both outdoor and indoor spaces.
