Pioneers of the sustainable furniture movement, Marc Schamburg and Michael Alvisse are an award-winning design team making waves in the Australian furniture industry. From different design backgrounds they were brought together through shared values and a passion for sustainability, launching their Sydney design studio Schamburg + Alvisse.
With the intention of creating eco-certified furniture this foundation of sustainability saw the pair push the boundaries of green design long before the rest of the industry took notice of green standards. “It’s just become part of our design process now,” they comment, “So it’s almost second nature: if a product meets a need but isn’t sustainable, then does it really meet the need?”
Their leadership in this field has seen them receive multiple awards and spearhead conversations with like-minded architects and designers, tackling such issues as improving indoor air quality and conserving fast dwindling natural resources.
With a rigorous and dedicated design process, Schamburg + Alvisse have built a reputation for producing functional, sustainable and beautifully designed furniture for corporate, commercial and bespoke projects. Some of their pieces sit in the permanent collection of Sydney’s Powerhouse Museum, and have been exhibited in Milan’s Triennale Museum, San Francisco’s Museum of Modern Art, and the Melbourne Museum.
One such piece is the Miss Molly Lounge Chair, which was procured by the Sydney Powerhouse Museum. This award-winning piece reflects the Schamburg + Alvisse design philosophy of simple yet innovative products that have durability and longevity and is described by the designers as being ‘thoroughly modern without ever being trendy.’
Made from plywood sourced from certified eco-forests, Miss Molly is designed for comfort. A uniquely wide back flows down to a generous, and ergonomically designed seat. The rounded edges and clean form of the chair make for a timeless and elegant look that is ‘reassuringly familiar’. Schamburg + Alvisse’s meticulous attention to materials and finishes is also prevalent, the seat being upholstered in high stainless steel base
Please note that the chairs are showing some signs of wear & the price is reflective of this. Items can be viewed at Ray Walters Office Furniture – 544 Queensberry Street, North Melbourne.
