Debuting in Milan, Erik Griffioen will exhibit in two locations.

At Designersblock, five chairs will be presented and three works will be included in the new showroom of Troom.

Erik Griffioen designs with a powerful monumental beauty in mind. For him shape comes first, then material. His chairs and couches invite you to view them from all sides. As you walk around they seem to be changing their shape. Griffioen: ‘My work has to be exciting from every angle, have character, beauty and quality. And most of all: it has to be comfortable’. Many of his chairs are interconnected. From his first chair came a second, a third and a fourth. And each generation would produce one or two new designs.
