We go behind the scenes with US studio Coil + Drift’s founder John Sorensen-Jolink on his 2020 collection that just launched – shot by himself at home in Brooklyn
Like so many others around the world, the Brooklyn-based design studio Coil + Drift had made big plans for 2020, including a return to the International Contemporary Furniture Fair this May to present its latest collection. The process of retracing steps not only saw Sorensen-Jolink reach out to existing clients for feedback on how the pieces were being lived with and thinking about how each could be done better, but also digging into his archives for past concepts that had not yet been realised.In the first aspect, the collection features a new and improved version of the studio’s popular Hover shelving unit, which was originally designed in 2014.
This is complemented by hand-machined solid brass components, which have also been aged by hand in-house, for refined overall effect. The unit’s engineering has also been updated so that the shelves can still be moved around as you like over time, despite custom-designed and installed in the home.
