The Story
Biomorphic constructions of timber and lamb’s fleece with visceral bronze mounts, rope-like in nature. The deconstructed upholstery of this sofa exposes raw materials: jute, beech, webbing and wool evocative of maritime materials like gunny sacks, decking and rigging. Topped with soft Gotland lamb’s fleece for curling-up-comfort.
The first iteration of this piece was first exhibited at Somerset House, London, for the Collect 2020, the leading international art fair for contemporary craft and design.
Subsequent editions are unique forms and compositions.
