Th ey ar e in sp ir ed by th e id ea th at sm al le r ta ct il e ob je cts an d el em ents have a real poten cy in th e physic al
experience o a space. Forsythe + MacAllen work back and orth between the intimate scale o urniture
and small uti l i tar ian objects, to the larger scale o bui ldings and landscapes. Working at a urniture scale
heightens the sense o human scale and physical exper ience in architecture. Conversely, urni ture andproduct design beneit rom the perspective o thinking in the larger context o place and space making.
Hands-on making has always been undamental to Forsythe + MacAllen’s design process, and is an integral part o
their ongoing journey. Ideas pass rom mind to hands to material and back again. molo’s design process has developed
to include experimentation with actory production, with desigers working in close collaboration with manuacturers.
Th is way o work ing leads to happy accidents and discover ies that insp ire design improv isation and innovation.
molo’s award winning sot collection o exible walls, building blocks, seating and lighting exemplifes their production
processes and space making. Recognized or poetic beauty and pragmatic inventiveness, sotwall and sotseating have been
acquired by the Museum o Modern Art in New York or their permanent collection. In 2005, molo and the so t concepts were
selected as a winner o the Danish INDEX Award. The sot collection is continually evolving with new products and possibilities.
Forsythe + MacAllen began work ing together in 1994 at Architecture school. Constructing a number o houses
and smaller scale objects, Forsythe + MacAllen won several international competitions or architecture, urniture
and conceptual ideas (www.orsythe-macallen.com) which have become the oundation or the molo studio.

evolved to become a collaborative design and production studio o 18 people. In addition, molo has an extended amily
o specialized manuacturers that they continuously work with in a beautiul endeavor to bring imagination to ruition.
