3 WE RE CELEBRATING OUR 30TH BIRTHDAY IN 2016! Our journey began in 1986 with Oblado, a series of furniture constructed on a ring of form-pressed birch veneer. Through all these years we have focused on making a difference in the market, and we are still (despite our great age) driven by curiosity and passion. We never ask the market what it wants or needs; instead we manufacture the kind of furniture that we like ourselves and that we believe deserves a place on the market. Blå Station was established by the designer Börge Lindau, our father, who after many successful years had tired of designing yet another chair and decided to devote himself to something completely different. But with a recent design award in his hand and too many rounds of golf behind him, it wasn t possible to avoid the temptation of doing what he loved best namely the challenge of designing at least one more chair... only this time as a producer. This is a status report in which the pictures tell their own story about the things we re doing, the places we re influencing and the time we re living in. We have visited two locations where you can find our newest products and some of their older friends. Of course there is much more to see on our website. Enjoy! Johan & Mimi Åhus Outofstock

7 COPENHAGEN COBE is a Danish architecture firm founded in Copenhagen in 2006 by architect Dan Stubbergaard. COBE focuses on architecture and design from buildings to public space to large scale urban planning. Since it was founded, COBE has createdseveral high-profile, prize-winning projects in Denmark and abroad. Among the firm s most important projects are the combined library and culture centre in Copenhagen s north-west district, Nørreport Station the busiest railway station in Denmark and the development of the Nordhavnen harbour area in Copenhagen currently the largest urban development project in Scandinavia. For COBE, architecture is not a matter of a certain style or form, but is more importantly about its adaptability to the local context, its social life and its users. The aim is to create social interaction through all projects. That is why COBE has developed a community of architects with the capability to approach all scales of architecture, from urban planning to buildings and public space. It is these elements combined that create the physical conditions for people s lives and their social interaction. COBE is based in a refurbished warehouse centrally located on Paper Island, on Copenhagen harbour front. The firm currently employs approximately 80 dedicated architects, urban planners and thinkers of different nationalities. Straw Osko + Deichmann

29 STOCKHOLM FATBUREN was the name of a lake that once lay on the island of Södermalm in Stockholm. It was a shallow lake with oxygen-poor water, and when the railway expanded in the mid-1800s the lake was filled in. Now Fatburen is the name of the large office building previously known as Korvfabriken ( The Sausage Factory ) because a meat processing plant was once located here. For a time, the Swedish Tax Agency occupied the premises, and today the building contains a variety of businesses, service and restaurants. During Stockholm Design Week in February, Blå Station opened its new showroom here, in the re-energised Meatpacking District, in the heart of Södermalm. The former sausage factory has been transformed into the city s best meeting place, and with us you can also find Zero, Källemo and String. If you re in Stockholm, you are always welcome to drop in to see, try out and get a feel for our furniture. The address is FATBUREN, 36 Södermalmsallén, Stockholm. You can also find us at various places across the world. To find out where, please contact us. Fatburen Showroom Södermalmsallén 36, Stockholm, Sverige 29

39 2016 THE FUTURE Blå Station will continue to focus on seating such as stools, chairs, sofas and armchairs, but also on their closest associates, such as benches and tables of various types. We look at design from an innovative perspective and we always strive to adopt a new approach to form, function, material and technology. To succeed with this, you have to be as curious about industry as about young people s behaviour. We constantly reassess what we surround ourselves with and how this affects our lives and opportunities. We carry out our own business intelligence analysis and we never rely on anyone else s trend analysis. We want our furniture to add something to the market, something that s not already there, something yet-to-be discovered. Sustainability and environmental awareness, new technologies, new materials and new machinery are important foundations and building blocks for us. All of this can be achieved within a small area here in Sweden, making us quite unique as a production country. We want high quality and a well-thought-out process. We never take shortcuts. On our wish list, as always; Peace, Love and Good Design! Ginkgo Stone Designs
