German designer Katrin Greiling has created a warm, vibrant environment for the Stockholm Furniture Fair 2011. Dubbed the 'Design Bar,' the installation is composed of triangular orange cardboards over lounge chairs. There's also a pineapple-inspired booth for the bar and miniature cylindrical stools. The design is cute, quirky, vibrant and extremely fun for both visitors and designers.
Katrin Greiling's Design Bar "is to highlight a Swedish designer or group," according to Dezeen.
