Front Design

Sofia Lagerkvist and Anna Lindgren are members of the Swedish design studio Front.  Their work is based on joint discussions, explorations and experiments and they collaborate on all projects, from initial ideas to the final product.  Front’s design objects often tell the viewer a story about the design process, material, or conventions within the design field.  Significant in their work is the partial assignment of the design process to animals, computers or machines.  They have worked on various projects such as evolving interiors, exploding objects, robotic furniture and a range of furniture inspired by their fascination with magic.

GTV always succeeds in finding the perfect combination of tradition and innovation, assisted by continuous research into new, clear-cut, versatile designs.The tangible and intangible intrinsic value of the GTV collection is expressed in the Wiener GTV Design brand, engraved on a coin embedded in the structure of each single piece: a precious detail that certifies authenticity, originality and quality in stable balance between manufacturing and high-level craftsmanship. Inspiring this unique detail was the coin with the image of the brand that was historically spent internally within Thonet production facilities throughout Europe.
