During Stockholm Design Week 2022, Massproductions presents the new 4PM chaise longue, made in Sweden from laminated douglas fir or cherry. In a homage to the Italian designer Enzo Mari, 4PM Self Build is also released, where you build a chaise longue yourself with the help of drawings and materials from your local hardware store. Initially, 4PM was about creating high comfort from a hard material. The design language of the chaise is a combination of curved and flat parts and has been designed to provide the best possible comfort. In this case, Massproduction’s chair library has acted as a study in seating comfort, together with a number of prototypes developed at Massproduction’s design studio in Stockholm. It was also where the Self Build project started. Originally, 4PM Self Build was a fast model for analyzing comfort, where Massproductions’ product developers had to build multiple versions to create the right feeling. “A chaise longue is not really a piece of furniture you will ever need, but if you can afford it, it can gild everyday life. And when I say can afford, I mean can afford in terms of space, because a chaise longue takes up a lot of space in relation to its function. “ Chris Martin “We realized that the self-built version of 4PM was cheap, simple and fun to build. You may not be able to afford 4PM, but with instructions you can make your own and get the luxury of the chaise longue, without the luxurious price tag. Maybe there is something exciting in being able to build the furniture yourself. That’s when I realized that Enzo Mari never included a chaise longue in his self-build project.” Chris Martin
