Front - Design made in Sweden!

Sofia Lagerkvist, Anna Lindgren, Charlotte von der Lancken and Katja Sävström were selected in 2003 for the "Satellite", a collateral Pavillion to the Salone del Mobile in Milan. This year they came back with different pieces of their collections.



Here are some of their work. Funny, somehow intrestingly kitsch, sophisticate. They're already being called the "anti-Ikea" but in fact, they actually worked with the swedish multinational brand proposing lamps and chairs.

Their work ranges from chairs to vases, fom art to sculptural furniture. From fake-bookshelves to horse with a lamp on their head!

Go and check their website immediately! Incredible and interesting work!

Philippe Bestenheider's Projects

Forms and lines are probably the main characteristics of Philippe Bestenheider's design furniture.

Geometry and materiality. This chair collection "lui5" and "lui6" designed for Fratelli Boffi will be launched at the Milan "Salone del Mobile" the end of this month.

Chairs from the Nanook Collection. Their structure reminds us of natural forms. Very ancient in the idea behind its design but very futuristic in regards of its technology. Resin structure with printed fabric.
