the ‘biophilia’ collection explores a new design language forming a dialogue between time, form and space, its characteristics harking to the organic design of antonio gaudi’s ‘sagrada familia’ as seen most obviously from the thin, pinnacle-like back of the seats. the furniture pieces developed by ross lovegrove for vondom employ the company’s expertise in advanced roto-moulded technology in their production, and push the boundaries between material structure and form. ‘biophilia’ is being presented during milan design week 2013.
