Interior designer Kelly Wearstler created the Echo Collection, which is comprised of a wide range of organically shaped furniture. It includes tables, stools, sculptures, and benches. Each item is defined by its repetitive accents which embody the shape of an arch.
The products are made using a singular natural material that was first formed by pencil sketches. It uses timber by a longtime partner and artisan of the designer who is based in a workshop in downtown LA. Wearstler speaks to Design Milk about the inspiration, stating "My inspiration is driven from visual cues. Iteration is a constant exercise for our studio and the exploration of the Echo motif led us to develop an entire range of pieces."
