FURNITURE DESIGN WEEK: Professional Insights

‘Architecture without interiors is just a sculpture,‘ says Studio MK27 Director Diana Radomysler.

That most essential, most expressive, most changeable category of products specifiable for the spaces we inhabit is itself seeing significant change as we experience major shifts in our societal-behavioural patterns – in how we live and how we work – in no small part driven by the ongoing global pandemic.

What are the new priorities and considerations for architects and other specifiers when planning with furniture? And how are furniture typologies evolving?

For some valuable insights on this, we've spoken to Jay Osgerby from Barber Osgerby, Marcio Kogan and Diana Radomysler from Studio MK27, Konstantin Grcic, Eero Koivisto from Claesson Koivisto Rune, and Adam Nathaniel Furman.
