Vestre recently introduced FARI, a new lounge chair and table collection designed by Norwegian design studio Studio Føy. Founded by Guro Sørbø Midtun and Siri Line, both graduates of OsloMet University, Studio Føy has gained international recognition through exhibitions at Salone Satellite in Milan, Stockholm Furniture Fair, and ICFF in New York.
The studio is known for its playful, story-driven approach to design and its commitment to creating products that stand the test of time, both aesthetically and functionally.
“Vestre has always been driven by design. We continuously collaborate with leading designers to develop new collections while expanding our existing product families. Last year, we introduced UNITY and JUNE, and this year we are proud to launch FARI in the United States, an important and growing market for us,” says Bjørn Fjellstad, CEO of Vestre.
The name FARI draws inspiration from the classic safari chair, one of the earliest examples of furniture designed for easy assembly and disassembly. Together with Studio Føy, Vestre has reinterpreted this iconic typology in a contemporary Scandinavian expression, crafted in steel and certified wood and engineered for long-term use in public outdoor environments.
The lounge chair is delivered in three components that can be assembled quickly and easily, combining durability, comfort, and efficient transportation.
Designed for Social Spaces
FARI was created to make public spaces more inviting and comfortable. The lounge chair features a low seat height, a relaxed recline, and softly rounded armrests, creating a comfortable and welcoming seating experience.
The collection is designed to fit naturally into a wide range of outdoor settings, from waterfront promenades and rooftop terraces to parks, campuses, and urban gathering places.
The accompanying FARI table is a versatile low-profile piece that can function as a side table, footrest, or stool. It arrives fully assembled and ready for immediate use.
“FARI reflects Vestre’s philosophy of creating products with long lifespans, efficient production methods, and enduring design. The collection also supports our ambition to create public spaces where people can meet, connect, and thrive,” says Fjellstad.
