Molo creates furniture, space partitions—called softwall
and softblock—and lighting that are fluid in form, often,
as in the case of partitions, flexible, featuring unexpected
curves, alluring twists and turns, and above all, illuminated
translucency. One thinks of the 19
th
century architect and
decorative arts historian Gottfried Semper's assertion that
the first dwellings were made of textile—tents, essentially.
Molo makes walls of cloth, paper, corrugated cardboard
that defy solidity yet provide barriers and privacy.
ICFF consistently and creatively explores and promotes
design that challenges our settled notions of material
and form, even our notion of what constitutes an object,
leading the way in the 21
st
century towards a certain
poetry of the interior that is yet eminently practical. H
