Beeline Design is a Melbourne-based company that pushes the boundaries of material use through its corrugated metal furniture capsule. Dubbed the 'Ridge Collection,' the range utilizes the ribbed-style surface in unexpected ways.
The designs combine a modern aesthetic with an industrial flair. As a result, the pieces are infused with some sense of utilitarian immediacy. The rough industrial surfaces are covered with soft Australian leather and later, combined with solid wood or stone tops. The strong material contrast definitely makes for an eye-capturing piece that will, without a doubt, serve as a focal point in the contemporary home.
