Thomas Jenkins has worked in leading design companies before starting his own studio in 2010. His interest in manufacturing and materials combined with his traditional craft skills has led to him to create furniture and objects designed for interaction. Sverre Uhnger is a trained craftsman and educated designer from Bergen National Academy of Art and Design and Aalto University. Sverre focuses on creating products that feel natural to the user and where the inherent qualities of the materials and the production techniques is emphasized. 

Thomas Jenkins and Sverre Uhnger have played with The Krobo Bench’s format, and created a collection of circular accessories to break with it’s rigidity and straight lines. The contrast between Afdal’s and Jenkins’ and Uhnger’s designs further highlights the Krobo Bench’s unique qualities. The new accessory works as a planter, a tray, or a container for your most cherished keepsakes, and is available in a variety of sizes, colors and materials
