Roe Magdassi has used an unusual source for his latest collection of furniture called 'Tre': animals. After taking various animals and bringing them down to their most basic form, he managed to create tables and seats that vaguely resemble these creatures.
It's not until one looks at the breakdown stages from full animal to the more abstract form that it becomes apparent how the creatures resemble the final piece. The only piece that one can see a more obvious connection is the light, which looks like a giraffe with its elongated neck and extended legs.
Roe Magdassi is clearly a creative individual who thinks about his projects differently, using an alternative source for inspiration for this Tre furniture collection. Photo Credits: designboom, magdassi
