Resting Animals are the result of a recent research project by Front focussing on the close connection between humans and figurative objects. The design duo asked randomly selected people to identify the most emotionally enriching and meaningful objects in their lives. The majority of answers turned out to be animal figures that were perceived to have personalities, specific attributes or a shared history. Previous works by Front have been devoted to the systematic observation of how various animals sleep or hibernate.
This interest is now expressed in a group of slumbering creatures - Resting Animals- whose poses exude a serene tranquillity. The largest is a knit-covered bear that can be used as a stool, ottoman or backrest, for example. The smaller designs are decorative ceramic figures depicting a cat and two birds in different sizes. Resting Animals not only bring a touch of nature into the home; their peaceful presence goes beyond the visual to communicate a sense of contentment and companionship.

In 2003 the Swedish group Front - Sofia Lagerkvist, Charlotte von der Lancken, Anna Lindgren and Katja Savstrom (who has since left the group) - have worked on a collection of pieces involving the collaboration of animals including bugs, rats and dogs, as well as magicians, for companies including Kartell, Swarovski and Moooi. Well know pieces are the Animal Thing collection for Moooi that includes the Horse lamp, the Rabbit lamp and the Pig tray. Front have developed their studio around cleverly articulated ideas, an interesting twist on materials and an interest in the process of making things.
