Maarten Baas, Fabio Novembre and Studio Job are the designers behind the first furniture collections presented by Lensvelt at VDF products fair this week.
The showcase forms part of the wider VDF x Lensvelt collaboration taking place this week, which also includes a series of live talks with the brand and its collaborators, and a further seven products to be exhibited at the fair.
The first product Lensvelt is showcasing is its 101 Chair designed by Baas. First released in 2017 at the Salone del Mobile, the chair is celebrated for its character and versatility.
Users can choose from a choice of eight amorphous backrests that each have a playful, hand-drawn aesthetic, as well as different frame styles such as a stackable model and a barstool edition.
Fabio Novembre's modular New Balance sofa collection, which is intended to serve as a metaphor "for the uncertainties of our time", is also on show.
It comprises a series of modular seats, characterised by sloped bodies with uneven legs, which can be combined in various configurations. Small tables with level surfaces slot in between, helping to exaggerate the unbalanced appearance.
The final product is Lensvelt's Job Cabinet, which was designed by Studio Job with a deliberately understated form intended to evoke classic metal storage cupboards.
It is intended for use in commercial and home interiors, and its only embellishment is an oversized golden key that the brand compares to playful, exaggerated objects in fairytales.
All three products are now viewable in more detail at the VDF products fair, which has been developed as an affordable way for designers and brands to launch new products.
Other companies exhibiting products at the fair include Danish brands Muuto and Fritz Hansen, as well as British brand Modus and US brand Herman Miller.
More recently Vitra presented four of its latest products, including designs by Jasper Morrison, Konstantin Grcic and the Bouroullec brothers.
