 Front recipient of the Designer of the Future award
Front, the quartet behind the eye-catching disco-ball chandelier Konfetti,
is once again being appreciated for their work.
Design Miami/Basel, the most prominent and substantive forum for
international design, has named Swedish design collective Front its 2007
Designer of the Future. In recognition of the award, Front will present an
on-site installation of their cutting-edge work that will feature prototypes
of a new collection, Magical, commissioned exclusively for Design
Miami/Basel.
150 major designers were asked to submit candidates for the second annual
Designer of the Future Award. The Selection Committee, made up of
influential members of the international design community, chose Front from
the top seven candidates. The Designer of the Future Award complements the
Designer of the Year award given at Design Miami/Basel in December. The
award gives the recipient the unique opportunity to exhibit alongside the
most reputable designers and design galleries in the world - giving them
high visibility and immediate access to the most influential members of the
international design community. Design Miami/Basel will take place in the
Markthalle, Basel, Switzerland. The Markthalle is the third largest dome in
Europe and a local landmark with almost 6,000m2 of floor space.
