Although the 'Odradem' wooden furniture set might look like a set of artwork in progress, the pieces are in fact finished items crafted by Medardo Agurcia. Designed and created in Honduras where the carpenter hails from, the 'Odradem' furniture series -- named as such because it is the artist's first name spelt backwards -- offers an earthy yet balanced touch.
With many of the designs forged using slates of wood that are carved to interconnect with one another, the 'Odradem' wooden furniture set is rather eccentric in styling. Although it is more of a series than a set, the furniture can be paired with different pieces in the collection or with other existing furniture in the home for an exquisitely abstract touch.
