Comme des Garçons, Dover Street Market, London, 2007

Karl Lagerfeld collection

Karl Lagerfeld estate

Hedi Slimane's F System series was presented by Comme des Garçons at London's Dover Street Market in 2007. 

The seven models designed by Hedi Slimane were handmade in a limited edition of 10 pieces. 

Commenting on the collection, Hedi Slimane explains:

“Throughout history, furniture has been a medium for Collective identity.

Conversations, Indiscrets and Confidents populated the salons of the 19th century, only to disappear in the last century. 

Beyond its function, F system formally evokes a dynamic, a convention and a social symbol that has fallen into disuse.

Social etiquette is here reduced to its simplest expression, a posture and a form of archaic sociability”.
