Uglycute first tested their aesthetic at an exhibition they mounted in Stockholm in 1999, conceived as the firm's launch. It included the Bruno Matthson knockoff at right, made from particleboard and nylon webbing. The group's work has evolved quite a bit in the past 12 years, and no longer has such an obvious truck with Swedish modernism, but they've hung onto the same basic working methods and material interests they had from the beginning.
