It is made up of a selection of tables and chairs that are all complete with slatted aluminum at the surface. All of the furniture also has a silver metallic finish that adds a stark visual theme. Originally, the [capsule collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/concav-collection) was designed in 2017 by Brichet Ziegler, a studio based in Paris. At that time, it had a grainy epoxy paint finish that offered customers a variety of colors. The new look is meant to channel its original state and celebrate the raw look of the foundation of the material.
