Design Species II, Frederikson Stallard

An armchair as you’ve never seen it (or felt it) before. Jagged in form and plush in style, ‘Species II’ juxtaposes the rough with the sensual. Like a velvet-coated mass of rock, this Frederikson Stallard-designed item is an unexpectedly inviting elevation of the domestic, characteristic of the duo’s work. Made as part of the Species series, the piece was created specifically for Momentum, an exhibition by Frederikson Stallard held during the London Design Festival in 2015 – described by them as ‘a celebration of the experimental and the rigorous, the unique versus the mass produced’.

Species II is currently available with David Gill Gallery, a London-based gallery exhibiting art and design collections by cutting-edge contemporary artists.
