The Metal Furniture collection allows people to adopt a strong style statement in both a futuristic and artistic way. Reminiscent of art sculptures by Donald Judd, it is filled with clean-lined pieces with richly polished surfaces. Although the use of silver and gold metallics may give a living space a touch of Victorian glamor, the Metal Furniture collection in fact does almost the opposite. Instead, it heightens minimalistic aesthetics in a unique way.
Designed by Keir Townsend for Italian manufacturer Laurameroni, the Metal Furniture collection is comprised of low tables, storage units and more. According to Design Milk, "The process of making the pieces involves applying a patinated surface to metal strips and then folding them onto the furniture."
