Snarkitecture worked alongside furniture label Pentatonic to create the Fractured furniture collection. The special collaborative project dials in on the relationship that lies between the concept of art, design and the use of materials. The two-piece collection is comprised of a bench and a table. The Fractured Bench is constructed from 25 layers of fine PlyFix materials and felt made from recycled plastic. It is compressed into one single sheet, which goes through heat formulation to be crafted into a curvaceous two-seater.
The Fractured Table is made from a similar construction technique, with both pieces boasting a disintegrated design as it is cut in two. The table is deburred by hand and then anodized in order for it to have a matte finishing.
