For Button Sofa, Front has found inspiration in the Swedese archives in order to express the Scandinavian heritage that is so present in the company’s history as well as in the current collection. This ambition is noticeable not least in the use of crafted wood and leather details, which has resulted in a piece of furniture that works both for public environments and the contemporary home. The wooden buttons on this sofa makes it possible to attach accessories and give the sofa additional functions. Choose a colour of your liking and then add a table or cushions to customize the sofa!
Front
Great design is the effect of choosing the right methodology. The design agency Front is convinced that thorough research, in combination with a creative approach, is the best way to create design expressions that can have both high impact and longevity. Founded in 2004, today the Stockholm-based agency consists of Sofia Lagerkvist (born 1972) and Anna Lindgren (born 1974).
Front reached international fame through their collaboration with Moooi, which resulted in the well-known “Horse lamp”, but they have also worked with, among others, Kartell, Moroso and Ikea. In 2010, they received one of the world’s largest design awards, the Torsten and Wanja Söderberg Prize. The same year, they were also awarded Designer of the Year by Elle Interiör.
Brand description
Many modernist architects were universal designers with not only a clear understanding of designing houses, but also the interior, the furniture and almost the clothes the owners might wear. Swedese's founder, Yngve Ekström, was no exception. Together with names including Alvar Aalto, Bruno Mathsson, Arne Jacobsen and Poul Kjaerholm, Yngve Ekström was at the core of a generation of designers who made the concept "Scandinavian Modern" famous all over the world. With a keen eye, he designed Swedese's furniture, he designed together with L + M Architects also the head office building, logo, catalogues and personalised Christmas cards including their own poems. And so on.
The most well known design of Yngve Ekström's extensive portfolio is the Lamino armchair from 1956, which is still manufactured and sold all over the world. In 1999 the Lamino was voted the Twentieth Century's Best Swedish Furniture Design by the Swedish interior design magazine Sköna Hem.
