Sofia Lagerkvist and Anna Lindgren are the members of the Swedish design group Front. Their works are based on common discussions, explorations and experiments and they collaborate in all projects from initial ideas to the final product. Front’s design objects often communicate a story to the observer about the design process, about the material it is made of or about conventions within the design field. In their work they have assigned part of the making of design to animals, computers or machines.
Hexagon is one of the three rugs that make up the Parquet collection, a set of three kilims inspired by old parquet flooring patterns, and their varied dispositions and geometry. Its color palette has been carefully selected by its creators, the Swedish design studio Front, to make the design acquire depth and three-dimensionality.
Parquet is an innovative collection that updates the aesthetics and format of the traditional kilim
The kilim is an artisan method of rug making in which the weft is tightly woven on a manual loom, using only threads and no knotting. The result is a light fabric with no pile, similar to that of upholstery. It is a technique that offers great flexibility, a feature that GAN explores thoroughly to create high-impact details.
