Offecct launches furniture by Pauline Deltour as family aims to realise her final designs

Swedish furniture maker Offecct has unveiled two new pieces by designer Pauline Deltour, the first created since her death last year, as her family and colleagues vow to take her final designs into production.

Launched at Stockholm Design Week, the Pauline chair and Thelma screen divider were designed by Deltour for Offecct, but had not been put into production when the French designer unexpectedly died at the age of 38 on 10 September 2021.

The launch of the chair and sound absorber form part of her family and colleagues' plan to launch her final designs. They also hope to introduce an award in Deltour's name to be given to emerging female designers.

"When Pauline passed away five months ago, it was really unexpected," her husband Nicolas Tiry said at the collection launch in the Swedish capital.

"Pauline's studio is ten years and in those ten years, she had 35 clients, 50 collections and 180 products released," he added. "She created and imagined such a wide range of products."

Husband and colleagues to complete Deltour's work

After Deltour passed away, Tiry decided to put his job in the film industry on hold to take care of her studio. Together with her colleague Claire Pondard, Tiry is now working on finishing her projects.

"There were so many projects in the pipeline, I felt I had to do something – it was something we needed to do to complete the project, because there was no way for me that her work would stop like this," Tiry explained.

He and Pondard are collaborating with other designers and friends of Deltour to complete the projects that were underway when she passed, with the Offecct one the first to launch.

"With Offecct, we felt relieved to find people who had the same goal and aim that we had, to finish the project to honour Pauline," Tiry said. "To honour Pauline is what drives us today."

The Thelma screen divider and Pauline chair launched in Stockholm

Deltour's designs for Offecct were created based on the idea that we need more flexible office spaces than before.

The two pieces are Pauline, a "modern take on a club chair" and Thelma, a sound-absorbing screen divider that "takes the standard acoustic screen divider and turns it into a design product," Offecct design lead Tobias Strålman said.

Pauline Deltour uses braided rope to create Rope Rug for Hem

The products were developed from a series of drawings and prototypes that the designer created before she died.

"They immediately understood Pauline's intention and took care to respect the precision of the drawings that she made," Ponsard said of Offecct.

Offecct project is first to launch

Tiry and Deltour's studio plan to release a further 10 projects that Deltour was working on.

"We are very proud, happy and excited to show the project today," Tiry said. "This is the first project that we release since Pauline passed away, so it's an important moment."

"We are finishing the projects and we have also dived into the archive, and have discovered a couple of projects and are reaching out to clients to discuss the possibility of launching them," he added.

"But after that we will not be accepting any new projects – there is no reason."

They are the first of the designer's final projects

Tiry and Deltour's studio hope to also honour her with an exhibition and an award in her name.

"We will work on an exhibition and are discussing with the school where Pauline went about doing something special, maybe an award for female designers," Tiry said.

"Something that would make sense for a young designer because I think it's important as a woman and as a designer in the world that's changing now, to keep her in mind," he added.

"I think she would have continued and have a special place – she has a special place, but it was just the beginning. We will try with our strength to make something special – as special as she was."

Deltour had a diverse portfolio that spanned furniture, product, jewellery and transport design. She had previously worked with brands including Hem, for which she designed a rug made from rope, and Established & Sons, with which she created the range of graphic Bloc tables.

Stockholm Furniture & Light Fair postponed to September 2022

Organisers of the Stockholm Furniture & Light Fair have announced the event will be pushed back from its scheduled date in February due to coronavirus for a second consecutive year.

The design show, which is the largest of its kind in northern Europe and attracts exhibitors from across the world, was scheduled to take place from 8 to 12 February 2022 but has been rescheduled for 6 to 9 September 2022.

The date move is temporary and will not affect the furniture fair's sister event, Stockholm Design Week, which is set to run as normal from 7 to 13 February.

Move necessary given "current situation in the world"

Stockholm Furniture & Light Fair and Stockholm Design Week project area manager Hanna Nova Beatrice said the postponement was necessary given the current state of the coronavirus pandemic, which has seen rapidly rising case rates and corresponding protective measures in many countries.

"We are an international fair with exhibitors and visitors travelling here from all over the world, including our neighbouring Scandinavian countries," said Beatrice.

"We have great interest and engagement for the 2022 edition of the fair, but we need to move it forward due to the current situation in the world."

IMM Cologne furniture fair cancelled for second year in a row

](https://www.dezeen.com/2021/12/10/imm-cologne-cancelled-coronavirus/)

Event organisers said they chose the new date to avoid clashes with other design fairs and activities, and because it would allow continued access to the usual venue of Stockholmsmässan.

"By moving Stockholm Furniture & Light Fair forward to September we hope to give more people an opportunity to participate, including those based in countries that now have a lockdown," said Stockholm Furniture & Light Fair and Stockholm Design Week product and concept owner Sanna Gebeyehu.

"After a two-year break, it feels important to welcome as many exhibitors and visitors as possible in 2022."

Design Week to go ahead

While the furniture fair will move to September, Stockholm Design Week is scheduled to go ahead as planned on 7 to 13 February.

This is because the festival is more focused on local exhibitors and audiences, and its events will not be prevented by Sweden's current coronavirus restrictions.

"Many of the planned exhibits and activities during Stockholm Design Week can still be carried out and therefore it still feels relevant to go ahead with the design week in the city," Beatrice said. "But of course, we follow the prevailing restrictions."

Stockholm Design & Architecture Talks will also continue as planned and will be aired digitally. This year, they will revolve around the theme Being a Game Changer.

Stockholm one of first 2022 design events cancelled

Stockholm Furniture & Light Fair is one of the earliest events in the design calendar, and is therefore one of the first to announce its postponement due to the global surge in coronavirus cases driven by the new omicron variant.

Furniture and interiors fair IMM Cologne is another that has had its date changed, with organisers recently announcing the cancellation of the January 2022 event.

At this stage, Maison&Objet is still going ahead in Paris from 18 to 22 January and Oslo Design Fair remains scheduled for 26 to 28 January.
