Resting Bear
Numerous works by the creative duo
Front are devoted to the systematic observation of sleeping or hibernating
animals. This fascination inspired their design of a group of slumbering
creatures – Resting Animals – whose poses exude a serene tranquillity. The
largest is a knit-covered bear that can be used for a variety of functions,
such as a stool, ottoman or backrest.

Front |
Sofia Lagerkvist and Anna Lindgren – both from Sweden – founded the
Stockholm-based design studio Front in 2004. Their work constantly questions
the design process, whether through their ‘collaborations’ with animals or
their experiments with advanced technology like in the project Sketch
Furniture. They have developed objects for major design brands across the world
and are represented by Galerie Kreo in Paris and Friedman Benda in New York.
Their work can be found in the collection of the Vitra Design
Museum, the MoMA of New York and the Victoria & Albert Museum
in London. |
