Stephanie Forsythe and Todd MacAllen launched molo in 2004 after a hands-on education in architecture, fine arts, and craft. Balancing between art, design, and architecture, they founded the studio on ideas of flexible design for sustainable living and experiments for a new building system made from paper.

over the last twenty years, the partners have developed their ideas into the award-winning soft collection, a line of flexible and sculptural space partitions, furniture, and lighting elements that are both poetic and practical.

the collection is made in both paper and textile variations. Elements compress and expand, linking together as part of a modular, sustainable building system for living spaces, working environments, and scenography.

visit molo at <a href="https://www.maison-objet.com/en/paris">Maison & Objet Paris</span></a> · Hall 06 · Stand I30 - J29 · Today · Design District

the exhibition explores themes of colour, light, and emotion as part of Forsythe and MacAllen's ongoing investigations with multi-sensory temporal space-making. The installation will be built entirely from the soft collection in three striking finishes, chosen for how they interact with light and evoke emotion: aluminum textile and limited edition forest green + petal pink textile.

molo invites you to share this landmark anniversary with the studio and experience the soft collection’s tactile beauty, expressive movement, and acoustic qualities in person and meet molo founders, Stephanie Forsythe and Todd MacAllen.
