From dark and brooding to boisterous and brazen, the designs of Patrik Fredrikson and Ian Stallard explore notions of opulence and sensual darkness to create furniture and products that are rich and conceptually challenging.

Part of a new breed of avant-garde designers for whom narrative is paramount, the London-based designers have been collaborating since 1995 and launched their design partnership in 2005. Both graduates of Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, FredriksonStallard have earned international renown for their idiosyncratic style and alchemist’s approach to materials.

The Bergère chairs are produced and represented by David Gill Galleries, London.
