I love Fredrikson Stallard, a furniture design studio founded by Patrik Fredrikson and Ian Stallard.

The studio pieces are like fairy tales for grown-ups: they combine simple surface with underlying themes of opulent and sensual darkness.

The designs evoke feelings of fragility, surprise, desire, and in doing so they challenge cultural preconceptions and notions of how we live and how we surround ourselves with objects.

The intention is to pass from industrial production to unique bespoke pieces. And we can obviously see that in Fredrikson works.

His pieces balance on the ridge between the traditions of the past and the dreams of the future. The junction of elements from both brings life to a more fantastic creation bringing the best of both realities.
