Furniture Design
Designing a collection of furniture optimizing a classic material for modern production.
Featured in Frame, Sight Unseen & AD
6x6 part 2 is the second furniture edition from Grande, a partnership between Charlotte Sunnen and Aurelie Mathieu. Composed of 3 pieces, the collection has been designed as statement pieces integrated into consumers daily life. The pieces are sleek and light yet conveying the weight and permanence associated with natural stone. These highly narrative images showcase each piece of the collection in a poetic setting.
In 2011, Grande debuted their first piece at Milan Design Week, challenging traditional furniture stereotypes.
