The Reef Series

The Reef Series explores an innovative hybrid hardened textile process to create organic yet strong design pieces.

The reef shelf series explores an innovative exploration of textile materiality. The unique knitting and casting process brings the pieces to life, evocative of coral reefs and underwater life.

Beautiful and Functional

Due to the movement of the textile during the casting process, each shelf flows in a unique way. The flocked nylon coating provides acoustic dampening properties, allowing the shelves to function as acoustic panels. The series exists in the space between creature and object, similar to how sea corals and anemones occupy the mystical space between plant and animal. With their flocked surface finish and linear form language they combine the aesthetics of digital texturing with handmade craft.

The series has been expanded to include a variety of functional and sculptural pieces including mirrors, acoustic panels, sculptural vessels and tables. Newly released Myceda coffee and side table duo are currently exhibited at the Future Furniture exhibition during DDW.
