Unique Standard chest

Chandra Ahlsell and Anna Holmquist / Folkform

£2800

Folkform are Chandra Ahlsell and Anna Holmquist, Stockholm-based graduates from Konstfack, who devote themselves to experimenting with materials. This whimsical chest of 18 drawers is part of their Unique Standard collection, which experiments with combining original materials with manmade materials that imitate them, in this case Masonite hardboard and birch. The intention is to make us question what constitutes a precious material and though we pondered this for a little while, the effect was somewhat overshadowed by the fun of opening the jigsaw-like drawers. Like a contemporary cabinet of curiosities – just be careful to remember what you put where.
