The new [five-piece collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/palma-collection) sees the studio applying its meticulous and experimental design approach to deliver a totally unique cabinet, coffee table, bookcase, stool, and side table. The headlining piece in the collection is the oak cabinet, which features a [manipulated wood construction](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/irish-furniture-design), lending the unit a natural yet machine-made quality. “We generally reflect our thoughts on how cabinet-making conventions can be challenged and molded into something that excites us at the moment. We always try to capture ideas as bare-bone as possible and strive to minimize any sense of the work is contemporary," said SNICKERIET designer Karl-Johan Hjerling.
