Seen at Rossana Orlandi – Front Design. Put four beautiful Swedish young ladies together and you get equally interesting and special designs. Under the name Front Design, Anna Lindgreen, Katja Savstrom, Sofia Lagerkvist and Charlotte Von Der Lancken (not in the photograph), design normal but strange things. In the ordinary with unexpected details collection shown at Rosanna Orlandi you can see this painted Changing Cupboard that changes colors every time you open it or the Reflection Cupboard reclaimed from the State House where they hold the Nobel Prize Awards ceremony, it reflects the inside of the room it came from. Each piece tells a story, because each piece has been found and has been re-designed by them.
