Last month saw the launch of Wallpaper*s collaboration with furniture design giant, B&B Italia.
The event was pulled together to celebrate three one-off editions of B&B's iconic Grand Papilio chair.
The event was pulled together to celebrate three one-off editions of B&B's iconic Grand Papilio chair.
Bringing together the creative talents of Viktor&Rolf, Elmgreen & Dragset and Baron & Baron, Wallpaper* commissioned each to come up with their own radical redesign of the chair.
Known for their innovative, high-fashion approach, Dutch duo Victor&Rolf came up with a sculptural design featuring a giant cream bow, set pride of place upon the chair. Artistic couple Elmgreen & Dragset approached the commission with a typically dry twist, producing a rope-bound piece adorned with a tag stating 'Oh Christ, is it a Christo?'. The final addition, from design team Baron & Baron took a more avant-garde approach, swathing the chair in reams of pneumatic blonde hair.
I think these are fantastic, truely creative....but would I want one in my home? You would have to have the right decor to go with these flamboyant creations!
