The 'Big Talk' lounge chair was designed by Adam Goodrum for Febrik and Kvadrat's exhibition Knit project! as part of the 3 Days of Design in Copenhagen and has been added to the 2021 collection of offerings from Bla Station. The chair is achieved using a series of chromatic fabric swatches that help to make it an instantly recognizable and vibrant addition to virtually any space. The chair can be placed side-by-side with another in order to create a modular kind of sofa experience that is as large as desired.
The 'Big Talk' lounge chair maintains a chromatically modern aesthetic, but also calls to mind the tête-à-tête sofa or Victorian-era ‘love seat’ to enhance a space with a touch of balanced aesthetics.
