Fredrikson Stallard

Patrik Frederikson (Swedish, born 1968) and Ian Stallard (British, born 1973) are known for producing avant-garde design objects, furniture, and interiors in their London-based practice. The studio’s designs, which aim to transcend basic questions of form and function, are both simple and highly conceptual—a glass table, for example, may contain a metal sheet within. While their work is technically rigorous and precise, “you still get the sense,” as the duo puts it, “that the metal is doing what it wants.”
