In visual art, the Japanese term "Origami" refers to the Japanese art of folding objects out of paper without cutting, glueing, pasting or marking.
The goal of the origamist is to transform a flat sheet of paper into a finished model through the use of folding and sculpting techniques. This Folded family design follows the concept of Origami, swapping paper for steel, aluminium and wood to create furniture with straight folded lines.
The hexagon, a shape that immediately brings your mind to a beehive, a beautiful dwelling for the busy bees of the Earth. Unknown to many, the hexagon can also be deemed ‘out of this world’, as you will find the six sided form on the planets Saturn, Neptune and Jupiter.
Taking its influence from the hexagon, the ‘Hex’ family brings forms not regularly seen in the public realm, giving you a family of furniture that will catch the eye and imagination of the passers-by.
In writing, rhythm is defined by punctuation and the stress patterns of words in a sentence. Long sentences sound smoother, while short sentences make the content snappier. When each sentence follows the same structure and rhythm, your writing becomes monotonous.
The inspiration behind this family design is to break the mould of ‘boring’ furniture and inject some rhythm into our surroundings, each piece (or note if you will) forming a melody that can only exist with Rhythm.
A design of furniture not conforming with equal measures and traditional lines. Each piece constructed by two materials, following a connection on an angular axis rather than 90 degrees.
Concrete meets wood, wood meets steel, steel meets aluminium, all complementing each other perfectly to offer a furniture family suited to a modern surround.
In a world of such growing divide, it would be hard to believe that ‘natural’ could be an ally of ‘industrial’. The Wood & Steel family mixes these two entities to create a range of products to show the two opposites can certainly attract.
The natural wood finish and rustic metal appearance gives this family a real warmth and complements a natural environment perfectly.
