Drape, Versatile Furnishing Unit, 2017
Drape is a multi-use furnishing module for numerous configurations. The sand cast aluminum unit is inspired by curtain panels and appears to suspend from the surfaces placed on top. The corrugated shape gives the stability while keeping it as minimal as possible. Books can also be placed in those folds of drapery. Elegant, yet sturdy, Drape combines a graphical aesthetic and structural integrity. Produced in small batches, each result varies from one to another.
