Graduate designer Mika Lindblad created her Pinot seating collection without using upholstery to showcase the construction of the pieces, which are made from oak wood, linen and leather.
A sofa and an easy chair make up the one-off collection, which Lindblad made for her graduate project from Beckmans College of Design in collaboration with furniture producer Swedese.

I wanted to work with natural materials and their inherent properties.
