Elba Chair by Franco Raggi for Cappellini

The Elba Chair was designed by Franco Raggi for Cappellini

It was a comment on my contact page. See the comment of Nico Eenhoorn there. For years I had missed those comments  as they didn’t seem to land in my inbox. All of a sudden I noticed them in one of the editing pannels. Nico seemed planning to reissu the Elba chair, but site seems having dissappeared since then.

Dear Guido, I’ve just discovered your wonderful site—kudos! I plan to spend some time really digging into it this evening, as it looks like there are hours of viewing and reading enjoyment to be had. Perhaps the ELBA CHAIR—which I have put back into production—is also worth a mention? If so, I’d love to hear from you. Wishing you continued success; I’ve bookmarked your site! Best regards, Nico Eenhoorn

Filo Sofa by Barber & Osgerby

  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.

#2 of the Big Sofa Book.
