Lambert Kamps (1974) is an artist and designer based in Groningen (The Netherlands). Lambert studied fashion and design before attending the school of fine arts in Groningen. His work is widely exhibited and is known in the design world for blurring boundaries between art, architecture and design.
Milk is proud to present his “Fat Furniture”, a collection of “swollen” furniture, inspired by the rising rates of obesity in Western consumer societies.
Lambert says that “ when I look around the streets these days, I see a lot of overweight people and it is these body shapes that inspired me to make furniture with a swollen look!” And these fab, fun pieces of furniture are certainly a friendly feast for the eyes and so soft and comfy to sit in!!
The covers are felted wool so there are no seams at all ,which are filled with inflated foam giving the furniture a good sturdy structure. The shape of the designs are where the attentions of the admirers remain, then comes the curiosity how these amazing pieces are made.
Come into Milk and try them out!
