, or Munch Museum, in Oslo, opened in October 2021 and designed by Spanish architecture firm Estudio Herreros. Dubbed ‘The Munch Series’, the Munch Museum furniture collection comprises chairs and tables used for the café, as well as sofas, benches, and lounge chairs used throughout the space.‘Even if it is a museum, things do not have to be uncomfortable,’ says Stokke. ‘You can quickly draw some narrow flat wooden benches with thin leather cushions.
Designed in collaboration with Engesvik , the furniture pieces feature layers of steel mesh arranged over steel frames and moulded cushions made of wool textile. The materials were chosen to complement the design: the frame’s weight helps maintain stability, the steel mesh was chosen for maximum ergonomics, and the cushions offer a tactile feel to achieve comfort and warmth.
The colour palette was another important element to consider; the designers analysed hundreds of Munch’s paintings and worked closely with Norwegian paint maker Jotun to create bespoke shades for the furniture. The resulting three colours, dusty pink, ochre yellow and dark blue, are dubbed ‘Skin’, ‘Hair’, and ‘Night’, and reflect the design duo’s personal interpretations of the art on display.
