Chissà poi perchè proprio Alfred, nome insolito per un raccoglitore di riviste. Ad ogni modo questo modello è stato disegnato da DesignByThem in collaborazione con Seaton Mckeon. La struttura è interamente in alluminio piegato verniciato a polvere. Disponibile nei colori pastello nero, bianco, giallo e menta.
Product news: Australian designers Nicholas Karlovasitis and Sarah Gibson have added dining and coffee tables to their range of timber stools with metal collars at the tops of their legs.
The duo own Sydney design company DesignByThem and created the different sized Partridge tables and stools from solid white ash timber coated with a natural wax finish.
They can be self assembled with aluminium brackets that sit neatly against the legs and underside of the seat or table top.
“Our aim with the Partridge tables is to create simple balanced forms that will endure physically and aesthetically,” said Karlovasitis. “We feel that using a warm and tactile material is comforting and allows us to achieve this.”
The Partridge Collection will be featured at Tent London next month as part of the London Design Festival.

Product news: Australian company DesignByThem has added a range of bright recycled-plastic chairs to its collection.
Like the studio’s earlier Butter Stool, the Butter Chair is made of 100% recycled HDPE plastic, mainly composed of milk containers and factory waste.
“We created the original Butter Stool in a response to the many plastic stools available today that use virgin non-recycled materials,” say designers Nicholas Karlovasitis and Sarah Gibson of DesignByThem.
“Although these stools are recyclable they are only adding more material to the recycling stream. That is why the Butter Stool and Chair are not only recyclable but also made from post-consumer recycled plastic.”
DesignByThem also offers a product stewardship program, where it takes back products to be either repaired, reused or recycled.
The chair is suitable for indoor and outdoor use, and comes flat-packed in a range of mix-and-match colours: yellow, orange, red, blue, grey, green, white and biege.
Karlovasitis and Gibson met whilst studying at university and formed DesignByThem in 2006. Their collection is now expanding to include the work of other Australian designers.
