One of our favorite Swedish designers, Fredrik Färg is busy preparing to show his new Succession Collection, first in Milan and then in New York. The new designs are intended to remind us – in shape and spirit – of animals from a time gone by. Dressed in leather and textile, the stools have been brought to life through a relatively complex production process. The bases are made of an innovative composition of materials that have then been dressed in textile and leather before being tightly tied with ropes prior to baking. The result, when the ropes have been cut away, is a pattern without seams, as brutal as it is sophisticated and refined. Take a look below at more images of the Succession Collection together with some of our other favorite designs by Fredrik Färg
Succession
Modus:cover is a cupboard decorated with the prevalent fashion of the day on which it is constructed. Each cupboard is covered with pages from a fashion magazine before being stained black and varnished. A secret shelf inside the cupboard hides a complete copy of the original magazine. The original inspiration in part came from that magical moment when one is renovating an old house and finds newspapers, as old as the house itself, hidden behind the wallpaper.
RE:cover uses costume making techniques on old chairs to create so called “slow fashion” furniture. The project considered the beauty of shapes that do not always have to change and was inspired by classic menswear such as suits and dinner jackets that never seem to go out of fashion. Having regained the chairs original condition, the backrests were removed and the designer replaced them with a new textile dress of molded polyester felt.
