Tallulah Fontaine

14. March 2016

2. March 2016

On Monday I introduced you to Brook&Lyn and their individual approach in furniture and product design. Today I like to talk more about one of the studio’s founders – Mimi Jung. Beside working with her husband on projects for Brook&Lyn, she also creates fine and delicate woven works. Her goal with any project is to express her personal vision, to evoke a feeling through form or material or composition, rather than to execute on technique. Far from the decorative function…
