Filo Sofa by Barber & Osgersby
Filo sofa
Year 2009
Client Private Commission
Manufacturer Cappellini
This private commission had two simple requirements; to design a sofa that was both large and comfortable. The looseness of this brief allowed scope for considerable creative freedom.
“A Must Have Sofa” I thought when creating this post.
Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby
founded their East London studio in 1996, after studying architecture together at the Royal College of Art. For more than two decades their work has challenged the boundaries of design in this country and abroad, while their commitment to lecturing, workshops and studio practice supports the development of new generations of designers.
The strength of Barber and Osgerby’s creative partnership has led to collaborations with some of the world’s most progressive companies and a diversity of output that encompasses architecture, interiors, sculpture, product and exhibition design, from the iconic Loop Table (1996) for Isokon and Soft Work (2018) for Vitra, to the 2012 Olympic Torch and a £2 coin commissioned to commemorate the 150th anniversary of London Underground. In 2017 Phaidon published a new monograph – Barber Osgerby, Projects – covering the designers first twenty years of practice.
