Building Frame Furniture

The Philippe Malouin Gridlock Collection was Inspired by Bare Architectur

This interesting furniture arrangement is part of the Philippe Malouin Gridlock collection that was showcased at “The Dock” in London. It was inspired by architectural cross-braces.

The Philippe Malouin Gridlock collection is a small and simple seat along with a much taller light fixture. If there were more pieces in the Gridlock collection you could arrange them to look like an upcoming urban center.

I think the Gridlock collection is a little more abstract and creative than it originally appears and could be great for a home of high design.
