HEAVY COLLECTION: MIRROR

Designed by Oliver Whyte

Heavy is a series of furniture that explores the relationship between form and material, blending the ideas of man made and nature.

Inspired by ancient Dolmen structures and Brutalist architecture, the tables mimic the natural feel of the rocks used in the Dolmen construction and take cues from certain details used in the Brutalist movement.
