Fung & Bedford are a duo of designers and architects based in Sussex, UK, known for their innovative approach to fusing architecture and design. Their work is distinguished by the meticulous integration of origami-inspired folding techniques, an aesthetic signature that lends their creations an architectural rigor combined with a poetic sensibility.
At the heart of their approach is a fascination with Tyvek, a synthetic material that is 100% recyclable, waterproof and tearproof. This sustainable choice enables them to design objects that are both light and resistant, offering a contemporary alternative to traditional materials. Their mastery of "architectural folding" results in sculptural pieces that play subtly with light and space.
Fung + Bedford have collaborated with the Danish brand Frandsen to create the Sora suspension lamp, an emblematic piece illustrating their expertise. Inspired by organic forms and origami principles, Sora combines Scandinavian minimalism with structural ingenuity, embodying the essence of their design philosophy.
