Storm

Storm grew out of a practical need in Alexander Lervik’s own home: a small occasional table that could be moved easily, but ideally disappear altogether when it was not needed.

The solution was a folding construction that allows the tabletop to collapse and the table to be stored flat against a wall.

Its shape was inspired by the traditional storm lantern, a robust and functional object designed to be there precisely when needed.

Made in steel and available in an extensive range of RAL colours, Storm is both pragmatic and expressive.

A piece of furniture born from necessity, yet with enough character never to feel merely functional.

Storm is a table design by the Swedish designer Alexander Lervik, dated 2016. The work is produced by Johanson Design, which manufactures and distributes it, while the design originates in Lervik’s studio. In the portfolio it is listed under tables.

Alexander Lervik is a Swedish designer whose work spans furniture, lighting, product design and collectible design. His practice combines function, storytelling, technology and conceptual experimentation, moving between industrial production, limited-edition objects and design art. He trained at Beckmans College of Design in Stockholm and runs his studio in Österlen in the south of Sweden.

The project belongs to a body of work that is represented in museum collections including Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Nasjonalmuseet in Oslo and the Röhsska Museum in Gothenburg, and that has been covered by international design and news media. Related works can be found through the furniture, lighting and collectible design pages and in the complete portfolio.
