Wood-Centric Simple Furniture Series

IMCOLLECTIVE Presents the Minimal COLLECTIVE COLLECTION

— October 9, 2024 — Art & Design
Architecture and design studio IMCOLLECTIVE has unveiled the COLLECTIVE COLLECTION which is a simple range of furniture that spotlights wooden materials. Instead of focusing on intricate designs, the team brings attention to the mere strength of wood joinery and its natural beauty.

The capsule is comprised of a rectangular-shaped dining table, a round dining table, a round stool, a square stool, and a bench. All of the products are made from Canadian cedar, Brazilian cedar, and American ash hardwood. As a result, the designs are all finished with a natural color variance of wood to bring attention to its joinery. Notably, the pieces are made to order -- all of these are carefully designed and built in Portugal.
