One of the highlights of next week’s Stockholm Furniture Fair is sure to be Nippa Doshi and Jonathan Levien’s installation for Kravdrat for whom they have created a cavalcade of Bauhaus-inspired upholstered objects. To further whet the appetite for The Wool Parade, Graphic Thought Facility have worked with Studio AKA’s Phillip Hunt to produce this really nice animated short, whereby Doshi Levien’s creations flutter and dance across the screen to a serene classical soundtrack. By animating each of these pieces with a really organic vibrancy – that stays consistent with its actual physical form – the promo presents this set of objects as a vivid, uplifting contemporary tribute to designers past.
