October 2023- Max Lamb's latest exhibition with Salon 94 Design debuted as part of Design Miami/ Paris. Visitors were invited to explore a realm of material experimentation with his Soft Poly (Silver Lining) collection. In an eccentric display, the designer delves into the field of sculpture and upholstery, making use of silver leather to craft seating pieces that evoke the imagery of 'silver-lined' clouds. This article unveils the intricate process behind Lamb's Soft Poly series and explores his innovative venture into reflective chairs. Max Lamb's Soft Poly (Silver Lining) collection with Salon 94 Design is a poetic homage to the timeless imagery of ceiling frescoes, where wisps of clouds playfully adorn the heavens. Within this exhibition during Design Miami/ Paris, visitors encounter soft leather furniture that transforms into a celestial living room, 'seating for the gods and goddesses, and putti who circle above.' Much like the ever-changing nature of clouds, Lamb's soft leather creations morph into diverse shapes, sizes, and configurations, not just for art's sake but also for practical functionality. While Max Lamb's soft forms can be found worldwide, serving various purposes such as consoles, desks, planters, and retail seating, the Soft Poly series is specially tailored for lounging. The craftsmanship takes place in Lamb's London studio and involves a multi-step process, all starting with a sculpted wooden frame, which serves as the foundation for the seating. A network of linen webbing provides support, while recycled foam crumb serves as the initial layer, ultimately wrapped in hand-sewn leather upholstery.
