This amazing piece of furniture makes you want to just give it a big hug. Called My Big Fat Sofa, it is by Charlotte Kingsnorth, a multi-disciplinary designer and industrial artist who reinterprets traditional materials and techniques to create unexpected forms and effects. Kingsnorth has revisited upholstery methods to create My Big Fat Sofa, a biomorphic seat.
Charlotte is among a new wave of British rising stars and emerging talents in contemporary British craft who will be exhibiting this week at the inaugural FORM Miami, 6–10 December 2017.
This international showcase of British Craft brings 10 rising stars of craft in the UK to South Beach for a four-day exhibition featuring some of the most exciting emerging talents in contemporary British craft. These unique pieces are fine craft collectors' items, including furniture, sculptural vessels, artworks and installations, many of which are on display for the first time outside the UK.
"Referring to both the tactile and emotional qualities that craft evokes, this body of work by a selection of British makers demands the engagement of head, heart and hand. The innate tactility and sensorial materiality of craft is distinct and unique, and this presentation invites you to journey through and discover the pioneering processes these makers have employed to conceive this exciting showcase."– Catherine Lock, Creative Director, The New Craftsmen
