Pixel
Pixel is a cabinet with digitally printed pixelised tropical wood veneer fronts. From a greater distance it appears to be natural veneer but from a closer viewpoint it becomes obvious that Pixel features “digital wood”. By deliberately choosing and abstracting tropical wood veneers, the Designers want to raise the question of the use of tropical wood for furniture in a playful way.
Three different pixel-veneers will be available: Limba, Mahogany and Zebrano.
Designer: Platform - Wertel, Oberfell (United Kingdom)
Manufacturer: Profap (Poland)
Inspired By: Wood veneer, Computer, Pixel
Material: Lacquered MDF and printed MDF
Colours: White, black, wood
Dimension: L180cm x H70cm x D40cm
Cell
This family of chairs was designed for the contract market and is therefore aiming to offer the highest durability, comfort and efficiency for a competitive price. The honeycomb, as a very efficient structure, is figuratively used as the defining outlining shape.
The seats shells consist of plywood. Optionally the chairs are upholstered with pu foam and wool fabric, manufactured in an inmold process that is broadly used in the transportation industry.
Designer: Platform - Wertel, Oberfell (United Kingdom)
Manufacturer: Iker (Poland)
Inspired By: Honeycomb, CAD digital surfaces
Material: Plywood, wool fabric, pu foam, chromed steel
Colours: various
Dimension: L52cm x W50cm x H80cm
Fractal MGX
Treelike stems grow into smaller branches until they get very dense towards the top to form a quasi-surface. The structure starts quite unorganized at the bottom and gets progressively organized until it ends in a regular grid, thus a progression from an approximate fractal to a fractal with exact self similarity. To stabilize the structure, especially at the top, adjacent branches are linked by offsetting the outline of the table. Fractal.MGX was recently launched at Moss NY.
Designer: Wertel, Oberfell, Baer (United Kingdom)
Manufacturer: Materialise (Belgium)
Inspired By: Fractals, trees, structures, and patterns
Material: Epoxy resin built with sterolithography, hollow structure filled with polyurethane
Colours: dark brown, black
Dimension: L98 cm x W60 cm x H42 cm
Fractal Table
Fractal Table is a table piece which derives from studies into fractal growth patterns. Treelike stems grow into smaller branches until they get very dense towards the top. Fractal Table, developed by Platform Wertel Oberfell together with Matthias Bär, is impossible to manufacture unless rapid prototyped.
