fabula collection | Kim Klelund Design

The London Design Festival marked the launch of Kim Klelund‘s debut collection which was exhibited at Tent London between 24th-27th September.

The collection is entitled „Fabula“. Meaning ‚fable‘ in latin, the name draws on the journey which has led to the design and execution of the collection. The designs are fresh with clean lines, combining classic and modern with the use of subtle detailing and bold colours without being dominant.

The collection is available to buy directly from the studio. Please see how to buy for more details, or contact studio@kimklelund.com. Fabula is handmade to order in Germany and the UK. We offer a standard product, as shown below, or can also offer a bespoke service, tailoring our furniture to your needs.

The Mazey story. Mazey is an elegant sideboard that has derived its proportions to suit the modern home. It allows for everyday objects like books and CD’s as well as accommodating oversize and awkward pieces like vases, LP’s or champagne glasses. The dimensions have also taken into account it‘s potential use as a media unit.

The Beton story. Beton, meaning ‚concrete‘ in German, exploits this material better known to be used in construction. The city of Berlin has seen a dramatic transformation since the fall of the wall almost 20 years ago and there is a real sense of creativity and experimentaion in the air. Beton takes the growth and development of the city as it’s primary influence. It is available in a variety of colours and finishes.

The Klara story. Inspiration taken from native Scandinavian roots. The style was inspired by the settle couches of the Gustavian period. Kim received sponsoring from the well known Swedish textiles company, Jobs for the fabric. When she first contacted them their initial reaction to her work was‚ ‘crazy beautiful furniture‘!

The Ribbon story. The Ribbon coffee table derives from the experimentation with lines and one single material creating an endless continuity. The final design looks effortless in it‘s simplicity but, each length of steel is a different length and angle therefore requiring a master craftsman‘s precision and experience.

The Majestic story. Majestic takes it‘s name from initiation ceremonies. Here one person is often stood before an initiator and is in a position to be accepted into a group, or be given a certain power. The central space in the rug is where the person being initiated would stand, with the entrance to the ceremony on one side and the acceptance into the group on the other.

In today‘s society one might just find this central area gives a piece of furniture pride of place and acceptance into a home.
