The products in the Areal Furniture group are designed with surfaces that mimic a landscape seen from above. The tabletop and seats are crafted from laser-cut metal panels supported by sleek metal frames.
Inspired by a bird’s eye view over the countryside, the products in the Areal Furniture group are designed with surfaces that mimic a rural landscape. The tabletop and seats are crafted from laser-cut metal panels shaped to resemble fields of crops when seen from the sky. Each panel is shaped individually and perforated with holes that catch light and cast shadows. The freestanding frame and supports provide a stable base for any active outdoor space.

FSC-marked mahogany is a wood with good durability in the outdoor environment. In addition, it retains its color tone better than, for example, oak and teak. Mahogany lives and moves, sometimes more than teak.
Oak is a heavy, hard and medium tough wood. Moderately dimensionally stable in case of moisture changes. Oak wood blackens if it is exposed to moisture or wetness for a long time. However, it does not affect the other properties of the wood. Thanks to its hardness and toughness, the oak wood is suitable for furniture and other use in exposed environments.
Nola uses high-quality steel with good strength in our products. Steel rusts if left untreated and must therefore be surface treated.
Wood oil provides good protection against the stresses of the outdoor climate and at the same time highlights the wood's natural appearance and properties.
Powder coating is a coating that is applied as a free-flowing, dry powder. Unlike conventional liquid paint, powder coating is usually applied electrostatically and then cured under heat or with ultraviolet light. The result is an even, hard-wearing coloured surface with the desired gloss level.
Electrogalvanizing (also known as zinc plating) provides corrosion protection through the sacrifice of zinc ions. It is created via a zinc coating on the steel using an electric current.
Freestanding product that is placed directly on the ground.
The table is delivered fully assembled.
Attachment hardware is available.
Oiled oak should be oiled twice a year for best protection. Good maintenance can never completely prevent stains from occurring, but oak that is not maintained will turn blacker and turn gray faster, but it still has a very long life. When re-oiling products, a finely boiled oil that penetrates the wood should be chosen over a film-forming oil.
Oiled mahogany should be oiled two times a year.
Products that are electro-galvanized and powder-coated can be touch-up painted with alkyd paint.
The Areal table is available in two sizes, square or rectangular. The bench is produced in a standard size.
The surfaces of the Areal table and bench are crafted from laser-cut metal panels that resemble a fields of crops when viewed from above.

Stockholm based Broberg & Ridderstråle Design & Architecture is founded and run by Mats Broberg and Johan Ridderstråle. The duo met at the University College of Arts, Crafts and Design (Konstfack) where they both studied furniture and interior design. Today they work within the fields of architecture and design. Their design method is based on the traditional craft, where they often gather inspiration from their daily lives only to then add a new twist to the design that lifts the product to a new level. Broberg & Ridderstråle have throughout the years designed numerous products and furniture series for Nola.
