A light, versatile furniture family built for everyday public life.
Designed by Espen Voll, Tore Borgersen, and Michael Olofsson

Light proportions and simple detailing create a presence that adapts naturally to many settings, from smaller courtyards to larger streetscapes. Despite its minimal appearance, APRIL is built for durability, with more than 20 years of proven public use behind it.
