Doodle
by Front, 2013
From the hand that alone draws on the paper during a phone call, traces of thought come out. Innocent reflections marked by an accumulative progression, spontaneous gestures, doodles; it starts from a line, you arrive at an articulated and complex composition.
It is the pretext for embroidery. The project takes the form of a folded blanket. The seat is delicate, absorbed, the armrests soft, the form cozy. The quilted coating follows the lines of the scribble, giving it a three-dimensionality. It is a thought that welcomes us, a daydream.

The use of other coatings is permitted subject to technical verification by the company.
A very soft leather should be used, embroidered in tone or contrast; you can choose the color of the embroidery thread between fluo red and matching with the coating.
The Doodle armchair is not removable.
Polyurethane foam and polyester fiber with internal structure in resin and steel.
Feet in powder-coated steel tube and leather covered with black polypropylene inlays.
Inspirations
Front
The work of the two Swedish designers Sofia Lagerkvist and Anna Lindgren is innovative compared to the traditional canons of Scandinavian design, towards more artistic and expressive territories. In their language, the use of visual effect becomes the means to move within a space halfway between irony and magic; the product, before responding to the functional needs for which it is designed, is experienced as a story to involve the observer, called to discover through “surprise” the assumptions behind the design process.
Front’s designs have been exhibited at the MoMA in New York, the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, the’M+ in Hong Kong, the National Museum in Stockholm, the Vitra Design Museum in Weil am Rhein and the Centre Pompidou in Paris.
