Milan 08: Swedish designers Front exhibited their Shade project at Spazio Rossana Orlandi during the Milan furniture fair, which ends today.
The installation consisted of a room set containing white objects and furniture, which were decorated with black marks and hatching to enhance the sense of depth and shadow.
Front claim the objects are “like materialized illustrations”.
