Interview with Jonas Forsman For me, function comes before form. I always start with the function and then take an exploratory approach to the design. Jonas Forsman Tell us about Create Storage and Evo, which you designed for EFG. Create Storage was my first project for EFG and I thought about how I could create flexible storage with modules that could be extended vertically and horizontally instead of the user having to buy a new product. The modules mean the furniture can easily be adapted to different spaces. I also like the fact that the end user gets to choose the design themselves. The starting point for Evo was to create a sustainable chair combining tradition and craftsmanship with innovation and a new type of material combination. We did loads of trials, working with the structure of the 3D knitted textile to create volume in the fabric and to find a good way of attaching it to the wooden frame. It’s challenging, but above all fun to do something that hasn’t been done before!
