City rooms

Kuehn Malvezzi designed the Collectors Lounge at this year's Design Miami/ Basel, commissioned by the Finnish design company Artek and the Danish textile manufacturer Kvadrat. The Collectors Lounge is a strong graphic landscape of multiple textures and bright colours based on Raf Simons’s Kvadrat collection. Like inside-out rooms, cubic volumes positioned in the space create different environments where visitors may gather and rest. The volumes define a space for the display of Artek’s Kiki sofas. As in an exhibition, visitors can experience the numerous variations of Kvadrat’s fabric collection applied on the furniture and on horizontal and vertical surfaces, with colors that are at times contrasting and at times homogeneous.
