ByLiebling

A while ago Emma did an interview with Li Aronsson. Li is the  designer behind ByLiebling. A beautiful Swedish brand which sells home accesoiries, bags and clothes. In 2000 she started ByLiebling after six years of experience in fashion design, printing and hatmaking.

Li's products clearly show her passion for prints and patterns. You can buy her goods online and soon the website will also be in English. Don't forget to have a look at her wonderful blog as well.

Front Design

Front design is a very appropriate name for this group of four Swedish designers. They are truly frontrunners with their innovative and advanced approach to design. Front turns design into a performance. They developed a unique method where pen strokes made in the air are recorded using a film technique ‘motion capture’ and which then become 3D digital files.

Motion capture is mostly used for animations in movies and computer games. Through a process called ‘rapid prototyping’ the initial rough sketches turn into real pieces of furniture. Sounds like magic? The results are amazing. Front has also collaborated with Droog Design. Their website is a great source for inspiration!

I am completely in love with these amazing chairs by GAMplusFRATESI. Inspired by illustrations made by children, GAMplusFRATESI designed these "Antropomorfo Chairs". They find illustrations by children “extremely free” and spontaneous expressions and which they translated into furniture. The typical Scandinavian materials, colors and details are combined with the “out of proportion” drawings by children.

Stine Gam from Denmark and Enrico Fratesi from Italy met during their architecture studies in Italy. Since 2005 they have been working together and their work has won various international design competitions. I can see why…

Another beautiful collection designed by GAMplusFRATESI is the "Bouquet collection".
Closets and coffee tables all with smooth and reflecting surfaces. On their website you will find many more products designed by Stine Gam and Enrico Fratesi.
