In 2004, Front, founded by Anna Lindgren and Sofia Lagerkvist, exhibited in Greenhouse, Stockholm Furniture Fair's area for emerging designers. Now – 19 years later, their design is produced by industry-leading design companies such as Moroso, Moooi, Vitra and Kvadrat, as well as prestigious international galleries like Friedman Benda and Galleri Kreo. They are represented in the permanent collections of museums such as MoMA, V&A, M+, Vitra Design Museum and Centre Pompidou. And this year they are returning to Stockholm Furniture Fair as the fair's first Swedish Guest of Honor ever, with a large installation in the fair's entrance hall, that combines high tech with traditional techniques like weaving and embroidering. In conversation with editor- in-chief of design journal Disegno, Oli Stratford, the duo will dissect what it means to be designers today – how can design adapt to technological, environmental and social change, and what do objects tell us about the world around us? Don’t miss this thought-provoking Q&A session.
