It’s a mountainous country with rich mineral resources serving as natural fertilizer for it’s outstanding Sauvignon grapes. The landscape is a little harsher and steeper than the gentle looking sceneries of central Italy one might be used to. This special geographic area enjoys both the mountains as well as the sea, forming a nourishing backdrop for a vivid culture of making. The eastern part of Friuli, towards the hilly border of Slovenia, nurtures a long and rich tradition of handicraft and woodworking. It was a natural process in which industry grew from the craft, leading many specialists from all scopes of wood processing to established themselves in the area.

His training began at the Central Saint Martins School of Art. His interest in industrial design and architecture led him to apprenticeships including David Chipperfield. Hecht thus began to define the style that characterises his personality as a designer. A profound search for the essential, acute observation of the world we live in and a belief that simplicity can be inspirational. In 1993 he completed his Masters at the Royal College of Art, followed by 3 years in California with IDEO, and 3 years in Tokyo. This period involved the collaborations with Naoto Fukasawa, producing some startling product typologies over the course of 6 years. In 2002, he co-founded Indus- trial Facility with his partner Kim Colin. He began to work with manufacturers, and the number of clients increased in just a few years. For Muji Japan he created the ‘Second Phone’ (2004), which led to him being invited to become Retained Designer for World Muji. For Taylor’s Eye Witness, a Sheffield company, he also became main designer producing notable sequels to Robert Welch’s work, selected for the Museum Für Kunsthandwerk, Frankfurt and awarded the Design Plus and IF Gold prize for 2006. More recently he has been appointed Design Advisor to Herman Miller. His career has also included teaching and lecturing activ- ities. Between 2006 – 10, he acted as Senior tutor at the Royal College of Art, London, form- ing Platform 12 and in 2011 was appointed visiting professor of HfG Karlsruhe in Germany. In 2010 he was awarded the ‘Designs of the Year’ for the BRANCA CHAIR. In 2008, he was elected as a Royal Designer for Industry (RDI), the highest accolade a designer can receive in the UK, and was also nominated for the Prince Philip Design Prize. “RADICE finds its underlying BEAUTY and simplicity in its structure.” SAM HECHT RADICE is a three-legged wooden stool, the result of Industrial Facility and Sam Hecht’s second collaboration with Italian furniture producer Mattiazzi – the first being theB RANCA chair that re-invigorated our imagination of what is possible with wood production. Hecht and the office of Industrial Facility decided to push Mattiazzi further into the exploration of robot-craftsmanship, but this time to also challenge structure as a diagrammatic concept. RADICE finds its underlying beauty and simplicity in its structure. It is the bringing together of what appears the front-half of a tradi- tional 4-legged stool, with a single back leg – the ‘root’. It is a visual improvisation, where two things meet unexpectedly. “RADICE has tension in its form and it is a slight surprise that the third leg works as well as it does to resolve the overall structure. It could be viewed as structurally diagrammatic, yet is made comfortable visually and phys- ically because of how its third leg supports the seat,” says Sam Hecht. The backrest is small and reassuring, allowing a coat or handbag to rest on it; and the seat is open for large and small people. It is light both visually and in weight, using no screws or metal fittings, yet also passing stringent BIFMA standards to ensure it is structurally sound, stable and reliable. The coloured wood stain options for RADICE are based on the cycle of an autumn leaf turning colour. RADICE will be available in 650mm (stool height) and 470mm (chair height) with cushion options. “I am attracted to the LAngUAGE of CAMPIng and campaign furniture. It’s something about the LIGHTNESS of STRUCTURE and required EffICIENCY in achieving something COMFORTABLE…” JASPER MORRISON FIONDA (meaning sling in Italian) FIONDA’s mother is a folding camping chair, which itself comes from a long line of chairs known variously as BKF, Hardoy, Butterfly or Tripolina in Italy, all of which suspend a canvas sling from a frame to create a surprisingly comfortable seat. I bought one of the camp- ing chairs in Japan and liked having it in my living room, but the aluminium X bars at the front and back were uncomfortable and prevented it being a real living room chair, so I decided to make a project out of removing the X’s. I am attracted to the language of camping and campaign furniture. It’s something about the lightness of structure and required efficiency in achieving something comfort- able which fits well in today’s mood. The frame needed a number of steps to perfect the joint but the result is light and strong, and can be stacked horizontally with the covers off. There are two chair models, a dining chair and a lounge chair, and table which is also stackable. It’s a chair for using inside or taking outside, for interiors which don’t need so much upholstery, and for the traveller who just got home and needs a rest!

In 1984 he studied at Berlins HdK on a Scholarship. In 1986 he set up an Office for Design in London. His work was included in the Docu- 83 menta 8 exhibition in Kassel in 1987, for which he designed the Reuters News Centre. The following year he was invited to take part in “Design Werkstadt”, a part of the “Berlin, Cultural City of Europe” program, where he exhibited “Some new items for the house, part I” 54 53 at the DAAD Gallery. He then began designing products for SCP in London, the German door handle AVAILABLE IN producer FSB, the Office furniture company Vitra, and the Italian furniture producer ASH FRAME Cappellini. In 1992 together with James Irvine, he organised Progetto Oggetto for Cappellini, a collection of household objects designed together with a group of young European design- ers.
