Materiality, tradition, experimentation, research and customisation all come together in Front’s latest designs unveiled at Salone del Mobile 2014.
In collaboration with Italian furniture company Porro, the Swedish design trio designed a poetic oval mirror that celebrates their sixth year of collaboration with the company. With their visionary outlook, a delicate feminine touch and the capacity to envision new uses of the material, the designers knot its wooden frame to create a loop that resembles the symbol of infinity. A contemporary reinterpretation of the art of wood carving, Loop Mirror is a true wooden sculpture rendered unique by the small imperfections of handcrafting.
Front also partnered with Gebrüder Thonet Vienna, a furniture company blending tradition and innovation, to design the stylish Coat Rack and Bench. The project introduces visitors to a reinterpretation of materials with a poetic, yet innovative approach, which outlines the unique characteristics of the company.
The Arch Dining Table, also designed for Gebrüder Thonet Vienna, occupies a space with its elegant presence. The large table is characterised by a steam-bent beech wood frame, which combines the aesthetic of lightness with the strength of solid wood. The top consists of a panel of ash wood, available in two sizes, which makes it ideal for a dining room as well as for a cozier and more welcoming meeting room.
These designs were unveiled during the past 2014 Salone del Mobile in Milan, Italy.
