SATURDAY in DESIGN - THE STORY BEHIND THE DESIGN
Lerod Collection by Alexander Lotersztain for Derlot, Australia
"I had the concept in mind, then one day I came across a manufacturer specializing in the production of shopping trolleys, so I approached them with the idea...as usual they were a bit hesitant at first, but then got excited and now we have a great relationship, and to a degree it has helped them to look outside the square and see design as an avenue to expand their business. The Lerod range is manufactured locally just outside Brisbane."
Zoe by Lievore Altherr Molina for Verzelloni, Italy
"It should be very soft, like a big pillow, and so it is built with no supporting frame, is shaped by 100% twill cotton cover, and made with 5 separate chambers, containing expanded polystyrene pearls." Jeanette Altherr
Catifa by Lievore Altherr Molina for Arper, Italy
"Catifa is Catalan for rug. Metaphorically speaking, this represents the synthesis between maximum generosity and minimum gesture. We wanted to propose a serene, yet in a subtle way, sensual chair to bring a fresh air to the sometime over-crowded spaces. The Catifa 60 is the latest proposal: the most comfortable version for working spaces." Jeanette Altherr
Nube by Jon + Jesus Gasca for Stua, Spain
We wanted to create something that would think of the space where it is going to be placed in the same time, think about the chair, that is why it is so square in the outer part and cosy and round in the part in contact with the body." Jon Gasca
