Whiskey Barrel-Inspired Tables

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Philippe Malouin Features a Four-Piece Wooden Furniture Selection

— January 25, 2019 — Art & Design
Philippe Malouin creates a range of four pieces for British furniture brand SCP and the line debuted at the Maison&Objet fair in Paris. The tables are made with high-quality American white oak, as well as finished for a complete look and an added sense of durability.

Philippe Malouin's work includes a dining table, a coffee table, a bench, and a stool. Each of the furnishing pieces has barrel-like bases. The circular legs are created by vertically arranging wooden slab tops. The designer expresses his deep interest in the aesthetic. His work is described to carry a brutalist vibe through a minimalist platform. With his furniture collection for SCP, Philippe Malouin hopes to produce something that can easily integrate itself into the modern home setting, but something that gets better with age as well.
