Stephen Burks uses Bolon textiles to create shaggy chairs for BD Barcelona Design



American designer Stephen Burks explains how he collaborated with Bolon and BD Barcelona Design to create a textural furniture collection, in the latest movie in our Bolon at Heart video series.

Burks, founder of design studio Stephen Burks Man Made, designed the leather seating collection for Spanish furniture brand BD Barcelona Design. Called Grasso, it consists of a lounge chair, a footrest and a barstool.

The range is unveiled for the first time this week at the Salone del Mobile furniture fair, as part of Milan design week 2018.

“We’re experimenting with the Bolon material for different parts of the upholstery,” explains Burks in the movie.

“The concept evolved from a desire that we had to have some physical treatment of the skin of the chair. I wanted to get at something that was very organic, and something that related to the surface of the skin.”
