Sometime we all need a little more help around the home. It might be a more supportive chair while we're pregnant, or daily assistance due to the natural effect of aging. To help design the new OMTÄNKSAM range, creative leader Britt Monti used ergonomic research from the care industry to help create products she says, "We hope you'll be proud to have in your home from a style perspective. The only difference is that they're more user friendly and supportive."

Steel has unique characteristics when it is stretched and shaped since it remains strong. It provides strength to everything from skyscrapers and cars to bed frames and outdoor furniture. The steel industry is moving in the direction of more energy-efficient production and stronger steel qualities. It doesn’t lose any of its properties when recycled and today steel is one of the most recycled materials in the world.
