2012#02 House&GardenArchitectural ArtistryFor Dutch architects Bart Eijking and Patrick de Louwere, the link between designing not only a building but also its interiors and furniture is 'a good British tradition' -which perhaps explains their choice to move their furniture design firm, Studio Lawrence, from Rotterdam to London last autumn. To mark this move, the duo launched four of their recent designs at the London Design Festival: 'To Gather' a modular sofa; the 'Wonky' chair, in five slightly different designs; 'Raising Lanterns', a series of dramatic oversize lights, and 'Along These Lines', a graphic felt wall hanging. Here they describe their approach. |
