Design Features and Collaboration
- Collaborative Effort:
Lo partnered with Rankin Editions, founded by Amber Rankin, to blend his unique textile creations with the studio’s futuristic aesthetic. - Transformative Pieces:
Lo described the collection as pieces that transform a room, with the spikes symbolizing strength and individuality, while Rankin Editions’ sleek silhouettes offer modern functionality. - Texture and Form:
The furniture features intriguing textures, with Lo’s signature spike design applied to existing Rankin silhouettes. The couch serves as a striking centerpiece with a swooping form, while the chair maintains a compact but impactful look.
Chet Lo Limited Edition and Craftsmanship
- Handcrafted in the UK:
Each item is made to order, crafted by local UK artisans, and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. The pillows complete the collection, available in a red, navy, and white color palette. - Storytelling Through Design:
According to Amber Rankin, the collaboration is not just about furniture; it’s about creating pieces that tell a story. The bold spikes add an exciting tension to the otherwise sleek forms, resulting in unique, conversation-starting designs.
