The George Collection of furniture boasts a unique appearance due to the materials chosen to construct each piece. Marco Campardo designed the series for SEEDS, using discarded materials from the industrial production of veneer. The collection boasts artificial wooden patterns that create unique designs.
The designer selects scrap veneer pieces from Al[i's warehouse located in Emilia Romagna to create the contemporary furniture collection. Then, the veneer is glued together to form thick pieces of artificial wood. The collection is hand-crafted and creates a juxtaposition between the natural and artificial worlds. Dubbed the George Collection, the series includes dark stools and tables. Each item in the collection is made with a geometric design, which creates a sense of movement throughout the series.
