DESIGN IS A MATTER OF COURSE.. When one of our distinguished, Danish industrial designers, Mads Odgård, decorates his rooms in a Swedish cottage, he of course lives up to his own slogan: design should be human and logical in form. - Of course I chose the one that I think is best looking on the market, a RAIS 700... Mads Odgård particularly accentuates the very narrow, minimalistic frame. He has built in the RAIS in a way that pulls it 20 cm into the room, in line with a floorboard. Detail and whole.

When you look into the stove, you do not see plates cut to measure. No, they are shaped for the stove. And the small horizontal handle works perfectly with a small arrow on it as a symbol. Any Mercedes owner would love that solution... And then something magical happens when the gas is burned off at the top of the combustion chamber – burning off the remaining gasses; the other manufac­ turers cannot do that – that is impressive, says Mads Odgård... He also says that the stove rarely soots, and that the combustion

keeps the glass clean on the very wide door. Furthermore, it can really heat up the place - a good thing in the Swedish winter, when Mads Odgård moves to the cottage. Mads Odgård does not mention the word design. Good design is a matter of course.
