How about a rounded wooden knob, or a metal handle in vibrant colours and a graphical style? Handles are a bit like the personality of storage furniture, and by changing them you can easily change the style without it costing much. For SMÅSTAD we’ve developed BEGRIPA, PLOCKAR and LAPPMES – handles and knobs which all have soft shapes and are adapted to allow the small hands of children to easily grip them. For older children there are JÄRNSPARV arrow-shaped handles that can be mounted facing different directions to create a fun and personal expression with a touch of attitude.

Steel has unique characteristics when it is stretched and shaped since it remains strong. It provides strength to everything from skyscrapers and cars to bed frames and outdoor furniture. The steel industry is moving in the direction of more energy-efficient production and stronger steel qualities. It doesn’t lose any of its properties when recycled and today steel is one of the most recycled materials in the world.
