BIG-GAME are a frequent collaborator with Flokk most recently as part of the trio of design studios who created the HÅG Tion. Describing their style as simple, smart and functional, BIG-GAME brought their unique perspective to the project, helping to develop a chair for the modern world, offering flexibility for dynamic working environments with a strong emphasis on sustainability.
BIG-GAME: “As a design studio, we had never experienced such an intense exchange of ideas during development: a chair for collaborating by collaborators. The attention to detail on every step of the design development has managed to make Tion both simple and timeless in its appearance, a good-looking comfortable task chair.”
Additionally, BIG-GAME were instrumental in the design of the Giroflex 161 by Flokk brand Giroflex.
BIG-GAME: "The brief was to base our work on the giroflex 16, a cantilever visitor chair designed by Dózsa-Farkas that had been a good seller for years but needed a makeover to be in line with the evolutions of the sitting standards of today.
Along with the Giroflex and Flokk team, we created four different backrests, designed and produced using state-of-the-art technology.
The shape, with its continuous and fluid lines between the armrests and the back is clearly dedicated to welcoming visitors. The giroflex 161 is extremely comfortable and the design language is harmonious for all different versions."
