Looks like a million!

This year the swedish design group Front recieved the Torsten och Wanja Söderbergs prize of one million (!) swedish kronor for their konceptual and innovative design. I'm a long time fan of their work since I'm always intrigued by designers who work in the cross-field of art and design. Front are very cleverly intergrating stories into their objects and furniture and they still manage to keep the aesthetic prespective, which impresses me a lot! Well done Front! Below are some of my favourite projects, The Shade (objects and furniture with pencil shading), The bookshelf from their collection for Skitsch (with printed books on the doors) and the blow-away-vase for Moooi.
