PH145335 Catalogue theme We’re wrapping the entire catalogue in the context of a theme: Make room for life. It’s about looking beyond the walls of your home and not letting them determine what you want it to be. It prompts you to ask yourself what it is you want more room for in your life – whether it be friends and family, nature, relaxation, or maybe a bit of extra room to do nothing at all.
Cover Make room for life We invite you into a living room that is lived in, inspiring and vibrant. From front, to inside and back cover, we’re showing the same room with many moments. Just the way life is. We want to share the passion we have for life at home. It’s joyful and warm – a space that expresses who you are. At times, it’s welcoming and loud, while others intimate and silent. KVISTBRO storage table See page 21 $ 69/ea ALL CATALOGUE PRICES ARE MAXIMUM PRICES VALID UNTIL JULY 31, 2018.

Make room for being together – Make room for life and apart. The living room tends to be PH144433 the place where everyone does almost everything. Play. Nap. Work. Chat. Eat. Think.
