Council Family Series

The Council Family is a series of furniture, which includes chairs and accompanying tables, designed by Kasper Salto & Thomas Sigsgaard, who make up the design duo Salto & Sigsgaard.

The Council Family Beam is designed for high-traffic spaces such as waiting areas and passage zones, this seating solution is ideal for environments where furniture should remain fixed and provide clear circulation. The focus behind its development has been optimal seating comfort and the perfect distance between seats, ensuring a pleasant and natural sitting experience.

Despite its light and elegant expression, the bench stands remarkably robust and stable. The minimal contact surface with the floor also makes cleaning and maintenance significantly easier. Drawing on the core design principles of the original Council family, the piece embodies refined simplicity and functional durability. The frame comes exclusively in graphite powder, emphasizing a clean and cohesive appearance suited for professional and public settings.

Design Alignment with the Original UN Council Chair

The Council Family Beam draws its form and ergonomic principles from the original Council Chair created for the UN Trusteeship Council Chamber. In connection with the chamber’s refurnishing, OneCollection manufactured and delivered both the relaunch of the original Delegates Chair, FJ 51, designed by Finn Juhl, and the modern secretariat chairs and tables designed by Kasper Salto and Thomas Sigsgaard.
