oh folke

Monday 9 January 2012

We're not opposed to a pop of colour, but we are naturally drawn to the simplicity of blacks, whites and greys - and it was this combination of colours coupled with the fluidity of shapes and sculptural curves that drew us to this Arabesk sofa set by Swedish designer Folke Jansson.  Quite an usual design don't you think, even for the experimental era of the mid-1950s?

  1. Those are amazing! They're like sculpture to sit on. I love the asymmetrical chairs...and I have a soft spot for black and grays as well.
