CONTEMPORARY DESIGN Fredrikson Stallard
“It couldn’t happen here, but then it did”
The best way to explain the work of the london-based studio Fredrikson Stallard are on their same language “are fairy tales for grown ups: they combine simple surface narratives of great graphical clarity with underlying themes of opulent and sensual darkness”.
This year the the studio introduces to the world “Species”, “a study in evolution by Fredrikson Stallard through the media of furniture design, created with a brute force that is at odds with ideas of comfort or human contact, yet so inviting by the nature of its materials”.
The furniture collection, are made of polyurethane, glass fibre and polyester. It’s a unique piece that combines elements of furniture and sculpture and we can find it in two different shapes and colors.

You maybe can think that this collection it’s like amorphous, but it is a mix between sculpted mass and chaotic energy in two colors which symbolizes life and death.
Under this flag, the creators of “Species” release during the London Design Festival 2015 an exhibition called Momentum. The show -supported by London’s David Gill Gallery, which represents the studio-, celebrates the experimental and the rigorous, the unique versus the mass produced, the importance of conceptual and creative development underlining the artists aesthetics and beliefs.
Patrik Fredrikson and Ian Stallard, founders of the studio, tells that with those sofas are celebrating too their ten aniversary of ten incredible and engaging years of work and creations. 10 years, also 10 unique pices derived purely from their core ideologies and their vision.
