Presenting three products as part of the exhibition, each piece represents one of three outdoor furniture collections with a core focus on the joy felt from being outside. The duo wants to reflect on how their design practice takes them outside of their individual social and professional spheres and outside of their own country. Utilising the language of design to cross geographical borders and connect cultures, the Swiss-German duo is collaborating with companies from Italy and Denmark who have a strong and established heritage in design. Designed for Hay, New Works and Vero.
