Frédéric Sofia

His first design company was founded in Lyon by designer Frédéric Sofia in 1994. Today Sofia is based in Paris where he realises his projects in close collaboration with industry. For Frédéric Sofia a priority are objects that are practical and that improve our daily lives. His works range from product and industrial designs to works of art realized in collaboration with Catherine Sofia. As a designer Frédéric Sofia prefers to work on the archetypes of design: developing economical and simple variations on existing genres. The best example of this are his designs for the French outdoor furniture manufacturer Fermob: the Luxembourg collection reinterprets the Senat garden chairs, which were used in the Jardin Luxembourg in the 1920s, and includes a wide variety of outdoor chairs, garden tables, side tables, and other contemporary garden furniture balcony furniture
