Kajen Standing Bench provides a perch that keeps individuals upright, enabling them to stand, straighten up and move on their feet. Standing promotes better posture than sitting and boosts circulation, enabling the blood to flow better through the body and brain. Reflecting the trend to work at stand-up desks and eat at chest-high tables, Kajen Standing Bench makes it possible to stand more, and sit less.

Nola's pine is of high quality and comes from sustainable forestry. Pine is an environmentally friendly, domestically produced material. Damaged or untreated pine is quite easily attacked by decomposition processes; therefore, it is particularly important to repair damaged surfaces.
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.
Linax is a linseed oil-based impregnation that provides extra long durability in outdoor environments and corresponds to impregnation class AB. The impregnated wood turns gray over time, which means that it should be re-oiled if necessary. Use a linseed-based oil for impregnated materials.
After traditional impregnation according to NTR AB, the wood is boiled in a hot linseed oil with or without color pigments under vacuum. The oil is penetrated into the surface on all six sides, which reduces moisture absorption in the wood and gives a dimensionally stable product over time. The result is a dried product with good resistance to rot that also has long maintenance intervals. Linax-impregnated furniture is intended for outdoor environments only.
Sioo:x is a wood protection with environmentally friendly silicon technology. Water-based and biocide-free. We use Sioo mainly for our oak furniture. Sioo:x treatment of is suitable for all woods, outside as well as inside, and gives a light surface without pigments. The surface is UV-resistant, water-repellent and non-stick. Active and preventive action against algae, mould and pests. Also rot-proof, wood-strengthening and fire-retardant. This wood protection provides long durability and easy maintenance.
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.
Varnishing of wood is done with a water-based varnish. A water-based paint that is kinder to the environment. Under normal use, the paint has a good wear resistance and long durability.
Nola uses high-quality steel with good strength in our products. Steel rusts if left untreated and must therefore be surface treated.
Available in either only hot-dip galvanized steel or electro-galvanized and powder-coated steel.
Hot-dip galvanizing provides very strong protection against corrosion. The steel is dipped into a bath of hot liquid zinc. The zinc attaches and creates a surface coating on the steel part, which is then taken out of the bath and drained of excess zinc.
Electrogalvanizing provides corrosion protection through the sacrifice of zinc ions. It is created via a zinc coating on the steel using an electric current. 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.
The legs attach to the frame with the bolts included.

Products that are powder-coated can be touch-up painted with alkyd paint.
Hot-dip galvanized can be touch-up painted with so-called "cold galvanizing".
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. Black stains on oiled oak can be removed with oxalic acid.
Oiled mahogany should be oiled two times a year.
Outdoor furniture requires oiling every 5 years and panel products and roofs require oiling every 12 years. Maintenance should be done with linseed oil varnish. It is important that the wood is clean and dry (max. 20% moisture content) before it is finished with oil. When washing, do not use high-pressure cleaners. Washing should be done with lukewarm water and then rinsed off with a water hose at normal pressure. Strong grease-dissolving agents should not be used, but washing should be done with a mild household detergent. Detergents containing bleach should also not be used.
The oil can be applied with a roller or brush. Too much oil can cause growth on the wood and give a sticky surface. Attacks by growth can also occur if the wood has not been sufficiently dry or cleaned before the oil is applied. Growth does not damage the wood and is relatively easy to remove, but has a tendency to return.
Sioo:x-treated products are treated twice upon delivery; once with a wood protection (Premium Träskydd Altan) and once with a surface protection (Premium Ytskydd Altan). After 12 - 18 months, for best durability, the surface should be treated once more with Sioo:x Premium Ytskydd Altan. It is important to keep the product clean, otherwise the surface protection can be destroyed. Products that are exposed to heavy mechanical wear may need extra treatments.The surface treatment has a tested effect according to the standards EN 46 and EN 113.
For information about the Sioo treatment see the website www.sioox.se.
Products in varnished pine must be maintained regularly with alkyd paint. Maintenance intervals approximately 1 time per year. Damage and cracks should be repaired immediately. Touch-up paints in spray packaging are available in standard colors to order.
Available in standard lengths of 120 cm, 180 cm and 300 cm.

Vara’s municipality wanted to refresh one of the city parks in Vara’s centre and selected the concept submitted by designer Thomas Bernstrand and artist Albin Karlsson.
Designer Thomas Bernstrand, who owns his own design studio in Stockholm, has participated in a large number of design and art exhibitions around the world such as MoMA in New York, Colette in Paris, Biennale Design Saint-Etienne and others.
Bernstrand has received several awards for his work, including Excellent Swedish Form and Winner of the Good Design Award 2012 for Nolastolen Share. For Nola, Bernstrand has designed a large number of products and furniture series and participated in a number of special projects over the years.
