Character Collection
Very welcome to meet Agnes, Agda, Eva and Estrid.
An armchair is an interesting character. As a piece of stand alone furniture, it can be quiet and unassuming, or act as a centre piece in a room.
Ire´s new design collection Character Collection is a tribute to the personal expression. The collection consists of four armchairs with completely different expressions,
created by four distinguished Scandinavian designers; Front, Broberg & Ridderstråle, Andreas Engesvik and Emma Olbers.
Once again, very welcome!

Honest and distinctive in its design, easy to understand.
The flexible sofa Hanna, designed by Emma Olbers, is the new sought-after sofa of the same family as the Hanna armchair that was launched in 2015. In many ways, it is typical of its creator, who likes to work with honest and visible materials and for whom considerations for the environment is paramount. With its distinctive wooden frame and deep seat, it is just as much a sofa and day bed as an extra bed for temporary guests.
Well-dressed, but with a glimpse in the eye.
Mattias Stenberg`s first sofa for Ire is called Como and combines Swedish practically with Italian elegance. Han har tidigare designat en lätt fåtölj, Chorus, och en serie soffbord för Ire.
En svensk vy
Det började med en vy av ett svenskt höstlandskap. En äng, några karga tallar, tät dimma. Ires produktråd hade samlats utanför Lundsbrunn i Västergötland för att prata om kommande kollektioner. Där och då föll det sig självklart att hämta inspiration från den svenska naturen runt omkring oss.
