Steven Holl and Dimitra Tsachrelia were recently featured in The Monocle Book of Designers on Sofas, on their brightly reupholstered Club sofa (Jean-Michel Frank, 1930).
“Needing to refresh their vintage Jean-Michel Frank sofa, architects Steven Holl and Dimitra Tsachrelia gave creative control to their nine year-old daughter. The result is a demonstration that design can be enhanced by inviting unexpected inputs.”
Holl: “The architect in me wanted restraint and something neutral, subdued. But the more I looked at her drawing, the more it made sense. It had joy. It had intent.”
