It’s not quite a year since we instigated the Bodging Milano project with co-conspiritor Chris Eckersley. The project has moved on quite a bit since the 9 designers went to the forest back in March. Since the 1st sighting at the Salone in April the original Bodging chairs have been seen at the Department of Culture Media and Sport, Designersblock 2010, The V&A, a gallery in South West London. William Warrens has now been taken on by Case and Gitta Gschwendtners is now on sale in Selfridges. We also took the same group to Bodger Dave Greens Sitting Firm factory in the summer, where over a weekend the Bodgers created variations of the chairs from the forest. The entire collection is now in production with Sitting Firm and is launched at interiors 2011. Read More…

Bodging Milano.

A special adventure for Fuori Salone 2010.

From 30th March to April 5th, 10 designers are going back to the furniture, living for a week in the woods of deepest Herefordshire. With the help of Gudrun Leitz and her assistant Paul, each will make a greenwood chair in Gudrun’s outdoor workshop. We are all getting out of the studio, away from drawing boards, computer screens, and mechanised equipment into the hands-on world of the original country chair-makers working without electricity with pole lathes, steam benders and hand tools.
