Dutch designer Tessa Koot showed off this fabulously whimsical family of furniture at Via Tortona’s Tuttobene last week – as part of Salone del Mobile 2012. This is not design made for comfort or practicality – this is design teetering on the very edge of art. Beautiful objects that arouse emotion, works of abstraction that inspire and uplift. Claiming to have a “fascination for the mundane and the fantastical”, there may not be much of the former in Koot’s magical Additions to the Family collection – but there’s literally cargo-ships full of the latter.
