Take a furniture designer and a textile designer. Place them in the same room and ask them to define a project. That is more or less how the new duo Included Middle began their collaboration. Neither of the two established designers was looking for a new partner. But what none of them knew then was that the third space between their two professional fields was to form a new inspiring basis for design. ‘Because we come from separate professional areas, it is our dogma that both areas should be present in our products. Form, function, pattern and colours affect each other mutually when we work, and as Included Middle we almost become a third person, who creates objects based on all four parameters.’
