Description

This contemporary cabinet by Swedish architect and designer Per Soderberg is handcrafted in Sweden. The cabinet "la Pasticceria" is inspired by the Classic Milanese pastry shops. In the evenings, the windows to the shops are closed with a simple curtain, and during daytime they open up to display all the delicious articles. This inspired Per to use a curtain instead of a door as a front for the cabinet. "Living in Milan as a student I would occasionally stop and enter a shop, absorbing the noice, the smells, the atmosphere and the people, not to mention the pastries. It was as inspiring then as it is now, thinking back." says Per. The cabinet "la Pasticceria" may be used as kitchen cabinet storing plates or glass. But it just as easily becomes a beautiful book shelf or "cabinet de curiosité". Launched in 2010, the No Early Birds (NEB) collection by Swedish architect and designer Per Söderberg is a furniture collection made out of a limited number of elements. Sprung from the designer’s ambition to create a table base that would be both elegant and functional and without the impracticability of one leg in each corner, the now iconic metal cross leg was designed. Together with the circular screw head fitting in solid brass it has become a trademark for the NEB range. Today, these two design elements can be found in almost all NEB pieces, creating instant recognition and representing the simple philosophy behind the collection: "The design principles I developed for the first table where naturally applicable to other types of furniture. This simplicity is not only a design issue, but it also enables an effective manufacturing process with few components and a few selected suppliers. That is something that the NEB collection has in common with other iconic design classics that where designed during the postwar era and that are still produced today." — Per Söderberg.Stockholm born designer Per Söderberg is trained at Domus Academy in Milan, Italy, and is much inspired by Italian design such as Gio Ponti and Carlo Scarpa. The NEB collection combines the simplicity and functionalism of Scandinavian design with the sophistication of Italian elegance.Since his return to Stockholm and after establishing his own design studio in 1997, Per has led numerous interior design projects for shops, offices, restaurants and private homes. International clients include Moschino, J.Lindeberg and famous Swedish glass manufacturer Orrefors to mention a few.The NEB collection is handmade in Sweden with eco-friendly, sustainable materials and production methods. Since its launch in 2010, No Early Birds has been exhibited at the Stockholm Furniture Fair, Maison & Objet in Paris, London Design Festival and at the Salone del Mobile in Milan. It has been published in a large number of magazines.
