Bethan Laura Wood, Max Lamb and Andu Masebo Reimagine Domestic Furniture Materials
Three designers from London are creatively reimagining everyday materials in surprising ways. Bethan Laura Wood, in collaboration with Shore Studios, presents "Extra Trimmings," which includes lounge chairs and stools crafted from nautical braided rope and silicone, drawing inspiration from 1970s design. Max Lamb's "Crockery," created with 1882 Ltd, redefines stoneware into dining chairs, engaging 23 potters in its creation. Meanwhile, Andu Masebo's Tubular Chair utilizes stainless steel tubes sourced from car exhausts, featuring curvy frames paired with seats made from recycled chip rubber. Each designer challenges conventional shapes, transforming the home into a space for innovation and intrigue. The project text was authored by Jennifer Ring at Form & Trace.
