This year's Milan furniture fair has produced really beautiful work by different design studies, including Front Design Studio. The Swedish company exhibited their “Shade†project at Spazio Rossana Orlandi using standard silhouettes of household items to produce really beautiful paper shading. Each item in the collection looks as if it were shaded just an artist would do in a pencil sketch.
Yanko Design quips that, "This is what home furnishing would look like if Dr. Seuss and M.C. Escher had a child that smoked really good pot and listened to A-Ha."
Really amazing stuff.
