Although cold, plain steel has the ability to transform spaces and serve many purposes, as shown by Daniel Williams' project Steeldesigns, the architect combines nature and the outdoors to compose beautiful and raw designs. He creates chairs, tables and firepits, all based on the same type of shape and concept.
Simplicity and functionality are what characterizes his products. Created mainly for the outdoors, these objects blend with the landscape through their organic hues and basic compositions. They feel and look like geological plates, only that they serve a variety of home decor purposes. For example, the firepits can be both a table and a fruit bowl, showing the richness of the steel to create a single shape that can be easily adapted to every need.
Steeldesigns has a beautiful line of products for those looking for minimalist and practical designs.
