Although we have previously brought you anti-social furniture and furniture of all weird and wonderful kinds, metal seems a strange material to use to create a chaise lounge. Having said that, the metal used for this “Membrane” piece by Korban/Flaubert seems to work in its own peculiar way.
The collaborators, one a metal specialist, the other an architect from Stuttgart, now based in Australia, specialize in furniture, lighting and architectural installations in both metal and plastic.
Their design aesthetic is dictated by experimental manipulation of materials and the resulting forms dictate the nature of their final products.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Metal Furniture Reinvented
- Opportunity to explore and experiment with unconventional materials in furniture design.
- Experimental Manipulation of Materials
- Opportunity for designers to create unique furniture and lighting using experimental techniques and materials.
- Architectural Furniture Installations
- Opportunity to create furniture pieces that are not only functional but also serve as architectural installations.
Sectors Adopting This
- Furniture Design Industry
- Opportunity to disrupt the traditional furniture design industry by exploring unconventional materials and techniques.
- Metalworking Industry
- Opportunity to expand into new markets with the rising trend of metal furniture design.
- Lighting Design Industry
- Opportunity to explore unique lighting design possibilities in combination with experimental materials and techniques.
