Erling Sørvin: N55 SPACEFRAME, parts of the FLOATING PLATFORM and parts of DYNAMIC CHAIR were developed in collaboration between N55 and Erling Sørvin and employ his research on building struts. According to agreement, parts from N55 SPACEFRAME have been used as constructive elements in other N55 systems developed without the collaboration of Erling Sørvin.
Marius Hartmann, Lennard Grahn, Johannes Christoffersen and Nikolaj Meedom collaborated on the project FREE CHOICE in 1994.
