'Bricks + Mortar' Sofa and Chair | Richard Woods and Sebastian Wrong



Collaboration betweeen British artist Richard Woods and designer Sebastian Wrong have produced the design of this series of 'Bricks + Mortar' Sofa and Chair design. The upholstery bares a classic Woods screen print that turns a recycled, domestic motifinto an applied ‘icon'.



The irony of the Bricks & Mortar design lies in the extreme comfort of the chair in comparison to the perceived ‘hardness' of the print. The elegant, fundamental shape of the single seat chair, two-seater sofa and footstool provide the ideal vehicle for Woods' bold design.



'The concept behind the bricks & mortar collaboration was a natural progression into
upholstered surfaces using woods' brick print. the scale and layout of the bricks dictated the scale of the seat and sofa so the mortar lines correspond with the geometry of the object,' says sebastian wrong

The Infinity Bench by Carl Fredrik Svenstedt



Carl Fredrik Svenstedt has projected the Infinity Bench furniture for lerival and has just been presented in ICFF 2009. The organic shape of this bench / table / recliner is the result of clever mathematics. The rings are serial, concentric hoops, like the layers of an onion, cut from less than 3.4 m² of flat furniture-grade plywood using CNC technology. The variations in diameter of the rings create a structurally stable, undulating sequence.



Carl Fredrik Svenstedt, a Paris-based architect, works on international architecture projects and industrial design, and everything in-between. He believes in the continuum of the designed world, and designs across the whole spectrum of scale: from the macro city down to the tangible, hand-held object
