Spec Sheet

Description

A compact storage piece, Snow G3 is designed with a small drawer, a medium drawer and an open shelf for utmost versatility. From Thomas Sandell and Jonas Bohlin and now considered a Swedish classic, the design features the familiar cutout drawer handles as the sole decorative element (and also functioning as a comfortable grip.) In a choice of soft Nordic hues, the lacquered MDF cabinet has a contrasting natural birch base. Asplund produces the fundamentally handcrafted and made-to-order collection in the small southern Swedish town of Tibro, known for its furniture-making tradition.

“Small details are more important in simple minimalist design, because you see every line,” says Sandra Adrian Asplund, creative director at the eponymous Stockholm-based furniture brand. The brothers Asplund—Michael, an art dealer, and Thomas, a banker—originally teamed up to open a gallery that treated furnishings as works of fine art. When their vision took off, Sandra joined the team as creative head (and later spouse of Thomas) to develop a collection in a style they dub “Friendly Minimalism” that has grown into an internationally acclaimed design leader.

A warmer take on iconic Swedish minimalism, the Asplund look is similarly grounded in functionality and and hews to an ethos of sustainably. “Natural materials often require a bit of love and care, but in return, they age beautifully and last a lifetime,” says Sandra. Carefully produced in Sweden with environmentally friendly processes and a large measure of hand craftsmanship, Asplund goods are contemporary heirlooms, she says. “Unless every inch is perfect, it is not good enough.”
