British designer Charles Birshaw has designed the CONTOUR collection. The furniture range is highlighted by its 3D printing processes and sculptural look. It represents a seamless integration of artful vision and premium manufacturing. The capsule was made in collaboration with digital fabric studio Decibelmade.
The capsule breaches into the world of sustainable luxe seating. There is a strong influence of the look of flowing fabric over a permanent silhouette. The CONTOUR essentially captures a feeling of movement which has been frozen in time, landing on a sculptural aesthetic no short of being a work of art. The lounge chair and side chair are the focus of the debut look with its sculptured surface and floating cantilevered arms.
