Any number of features can tie a series of furnishings together, be they colors, forms, patterns or materials. The Pole Collection exists as one cohesive group because of one recurring element: the wooden post.
Amongst Studio Segers' collection is a coffee table, a pair of side tables, a coat rack, a row of pegs, a coat hanger, a lamp and even a fruit bowl. The first three pieces use the post as legs while the stand employs a cluster of them on which to sling your jackets and hats. The light fixture's shaft is the cylindrical piece of timber and the Pole Collection's fruit bowl uses the lumber dowel as a means to pick up and carry a flat platter.
