Since 1995, Swedish British design duo Patrik Fredrikson (born 1968) and Ian Stallard (born 1973), working together as Fredrikson Stallard, have created works that expand the concept of furniture design. This monograph documents their stunning pieces, from crystalline dining tables and end tables that resemble permanent glaciers to sofas that in their texture and form resemble verdant mountains and valleys, from high-tech 3D-modeled chairs to logs strapped together by an industrial plastic strap to compose a table.
Fredrikson Stallard make no claims on the modernist high ground, where objects are conceived as optimal solutions and end points of rigorous analysis.
The work of Fredrikson Stallard is held in the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum, and has been exhibited worldwide, including at the Museum of Modern Art, New York.
