QUINZE & MILAN VS EASTPAK

THEY’VE CEMENTED THEIR HIGH-FASHION CREDENTIALS WITH COLLABORATIONS WITH SOME OF THE TODAY’S EDGIEST FASHION DESIGNERS INCLUDING AGENT2 FAVORITES: RICK OWENS, RAF SIMONS, CHRISTOPHER SHANNON AND GASPARD YURKIEVICH AND  NOW EASTPAK HAVE CROSSED INTO THE WORLD OF FURNITURE WITH ITS LATEST PROJECT.  THEY’VE JOINED FORCES WITH EDGY BELGIAN DESIGN COMPANY QUINZE & MILAN TO CREATE A RANGE OF  SOFAS INSPIRED BY THE UTILITARIAN QUALITIES OF EASTPAK’S OWN COLLECTIONS.

This is a collaboration like it should be done: take the best of both sides and combine. They’ve taken two classic designs by Quinze & Milan (the Club Sofa 01 and Primary Pouf 02) and added the typical EASTPAK element to it. Lots of little zipped pockets have been added to the seats and provide storage for your knik-knaks such as remote controls, laptops and your latest copy of AGENT2 Magazine.

The project is called BUILT TO RESI(S)T and it certainly lives up to its name giving design and functionality in equal measures.

Both pieces are produced in exclusively numbered limited series, and prices will start at £1941 and are available from www.madeindesign.co.uk
