Nina Tolstrup is the brain behind [Studio Mama](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-slab-collection), a design studio based in London, England. The 1 X 1 series is a [collection of furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/touch-collections) all crafted from 1 X 1 pieces of lumber. The designs are simple, as each relatively thin strip of wood is not altered except for length. The effect is industrial, modern, and unfrivolous.

For the 1 X 1 collection, Studio Mama has created a [desk lamp](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unform-studios), bookends, a hanging lamp, a coat rack, and more. For more from Studio Mama, check out the links below.
