Design Observer

This year’s embrace of basics of course involved more than Tuscan farmhouse-style food displays and nonspecific vegetation and insect worship. Deceptively rough craft marked the Offcut stool by Tom Dixon, made, like it intimates, of trashed bits of lumber, and the Brave New World lamp by Fresh West for Moooi, an Anglepoise lighting fixture interpreted in wood scaffolding with iron counterweights. Similarly rough and woody was Established & Sons’ display, which contrasted nailed together piles of planks with the refined objects they sheltered. One such product, notable for a degree of perfection that approached pathology, was Roy McMakin’s limited-edition wood chest of drawers. The Shaker-like piece had eccentric knobs and pointless openings, which only made the flawlessness of the workmanship more obvious. (via Design Observer)
