Bla Station: Big News 2021, 3 13

Adam Goodrum | 2O21
Adam Goodrum participated with a vibrant showy lounge chair at Febrik and Kvadrat’s
exhibition Knit project! during 3 Days of Design in Copenhagen. Without further ado,
the product landed in Åhus and became Big Talk, one of the highlights in Blå Station’s
2021 design surprises. Big Talk is manifest geometry: two circles define a throne for
the art of sitting. The front part of the backrest and the seat shine in the same colour,
whereas the back can be combined with textile swatches in a colour book format,
all in order to give whatever space a touch of mighty colour. Big Talk thrives as an
obvious solitaire, or can be placed back and forth to create a snakelike creation facing
in different directions. Both the seat and the backrest are shaped out of moulded foam,
all covered in different shades of velvet made by Febrik.
”I’ve been inspired by textile swatches, like a fanning concentration of colour. The uphol-
stery forms a modular tête-à-tête sofa or Victorian-era ‘love seat’ collection where two or
more seats can be joined together in an undulating arrangement. Two people can have
a quiet conversation (in keeping with Victorian modesty) side-by-side while viewing the
back of the other person’s seat and the spectrum of graduated coloured bands.”
