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.
This is the Tetragon rug of the Parquet collection, a series of three kilims created by Swedish design studio Front. Their inspiration came from old parquet flooring patterns, and their varied dispositions and geometry.
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.
