Tord Boontje - Christopher Farr Cloth

Tord Boontje, over the past 20 years, has been a critical figure in the movement away from minimal design to a return to more decorative themes. Boontje’s work anticipated the recent revival of interest in craft and ornament, showing that a designer could use hand-made processes combined with new technology whilst working closely with industry. As a result, his work captures an entirely new expression and, at the same time, incorporates a sentiment that can be recognised without being nostalgic.
