The objects in our lives have meaning.
Their touch, their origin, the memories
created around them.
The objects’ nascent stories — materials, craft,
detailing, heritage — gain layers of complexity as
they integrate with our daily lives. Our conflict,
joy, togetherness, solitude, even our banal
activities imbue them with greater significance.
How can we present furniture in a way that
communicates its personal value? How can we draw
people into the story so they feel connected? How
can we bring a piece of Portugal to Stockholm?
At Stockholm Design Week, we presented fourteen
new pieces of furniture designed by Jason Miller,
Neri&Hu, Matthew Hilton, and Luca Nichetto in a
private home in Östermalm. Two actors, Fernando
Nobre and Vania Rovisco, moved through the space,
bringing each piece to life through vignettes of
daily life. Twelve scenes in two acts, created by
Lisbon-based Studio Astolfi.
