HEAVY COLLECTION - Oliver Whyte
Heavy is a series of furniture that explores the relationship between form and material, blending the ideas of man made and nature. Inspired by ancient Dolmen structures and Brutalist architecture, the pieces in the heavy collection mimic the natural feel of the rocks used in the Dolmen construction and take cues from certain details used in the Brutalist movement. Each table explores the many textures, creases and shapes that occur naturally in rocks and mimicked through the handmade resin layering technique in environmentally friendly water- based acrylic resin material that encapsulates each piece.
The full collection consists of one side table, coffee table, console and mirror and each piece is available in a number of colours.
