Rings
Designer: Rickard Whittingham
Materials: Powder coated steel, oak, iroko
The Rings can: hold plant pots and containers, be a place to hold an umbrella/walking stick or with the addition of a timber disk act as a place to sit. The bench is made from oak and powder coated steel, the stool from iroko and steel. Materials have been selected on the basis of doing their job both outside and inside.
A lot of contemporary furniture and products are conceived as aesthetically isolated objects where as soon as the object is used the designer’s vision is compromised. The goal here is for these pieces of furniture to be brought further to life by both the everyday things they can support and by the lives of the people that use them.
