One Hour Furniture by Godspeed

on 26/1/11

The Trend Boutique love the concept behind Godspeed's One Hour Furniture.  Unorthodox materials, end of line fabric scraps and the raw edges of old broken down furniture all add to this unique style that makes Godspeed the unconventional designers brand.  Joy van Erven and Finn Ahlgren started the brand in 2008, opposing the high style and form based world of design resulting in a conceptual design company with a down to earth approach.

Each piece of furniture that Godspeed create has a production time of one hour.  By eliminating the sketching phase and jumping straight in to the construction process, each piece is guaranteed to be a completely bespoke one-off.

Godspeed have launched a new project for 2011 titled, "Been there, done that", in which a chair is travelling to galleries across the world, posted by average mail and without a wrapping.  Throughout it's world journey, the chair is gathering stamps, scratches and scars that will eventually tells it's story and define its final appearance.
