Inspiration is everywhere.

The Barred Collection consists of four wood furniture pieces, adorned with stainless steel bars. The inspiration for this collection came from a somewhat unlikely place: security grids bolted to the exteriors of buildings across South Africa.

All the pieces from the Barred Collection stand on sturdy pillar-like legs, giving them a distinct Brutalist feel. The tops of the legs peek out from under horizontal surfaces, exposing the eye-catching timber end-grain. Thick columns are held together partly by traditional woodworking joinery and partly by slim stainless steel bars, creating a visual contrast throughout the collection. Connected by basic tabs and screws, the steel elements imitate the look of rudimentary security bars, crudely attached to structures.

Throughout the collection, the brilliant highlights of brushed stainless steel contrast the warm organic wood tones. The metal elements act as jewelry, glinting in the sun and capturing interest.
