Doodle Sofa by Front Design and CVDLAB

Doodle Sofa by Front and CVDLAB for Moroso.

Why Front and CVDLAB? Front was founded by 3 ladies: Sofia Lagerkvist, Charlotte von der Lancken and Anna Lindgren. Charlotte van der Lancken stopped in 2015 as partner of Front and has now her own designstudio CVDLAB. Aparently Doodle was designed when the three were still together.

We doodle absent mindedly – doodling is a kind of half-conscious creative work. It is both a distraction, and also thought to help you concentrate on whatever you are doing at the same time. All three members of Front used doodles they had made during design meetings to create the sofa’s pattern. The decoration is a kind of by-product of Front’s creative process, inscribed onto the folded half circle of the sofa’s form

Alleegasse sofa by Josef Hoffmann

Alleegasse sofa by Josef Hoffmann reedited by Wittmann

In 1912, Josef Hoffmann designed the “Alleegasse” upholstery group especially for Dr. Hugo Koller, who had a city apartment in Vienna at the time. Franz Wittmann now offers these classics in his edition Hoffmann as original replicas. The balance between strict overall shape and soft curves invites you to relax and attentive art pleasure alike. Due to the noble cover of cotton veley, leather or the original strip fabric, the quiet design is still underlined. The cords in contrast colors accentuates the balanced lines of the furniture.

Dikkert van Dykmeyer

 


It is very possible I’m trying to source this chair for my own house, The Dikkert (i.e. fat one) from Dykmeyer, a subsidiary of the Machinekamer, two companies who are re issuing Belgian steel rod chair manufacturer’s Tubax chairs.

Lawless Sofa by Evan Fay

Lawless Sofa by Evan Fay via 1st Dibs

Evan Faye:

I’ve been focusing on intuitive construction methods and spontaneous form building with industrial materials to make furniture. My aim is to rhythmically grow each piece to realize a liminal position between metaphor and utility. The forms pursue beauty within chaos while expressing an honest craft on obvious construction to reimagine seating objects that discover a poetic moment in design.
