Hasta La Ideas

These stunning furniture pieces are by Australian furniture designer/builder Brodie Neill (who did that ReCoil table we looked at earlier). First off, this Bonsai shelving unit was commissioned by a client. It’s made of bronze and hollow:

The Atmos desk is “formed from a single surface of infinitely recyclable stainless steel,” and was produced in a batch of eight units:

The E-Turn bench is also made of stainless steel:

As for more humble materials, Neill’s Latitude bench is made of pine dowels:

If you’re wondering about the sharp materials departure for the last piece, it was a challenge put to Neill by a client. “When asked to re-envisage pine dowels into a new design,” Neill explains, “my first instinct was to completely shift the perception of these linear elements by building volume through repetition.?”?

“Reminiscent of traditional Japanese bamboo constructions where linear elements are bound together to create seemingly simple scaffolding-like structures, my Latitude bench sought to lay bare its structural integrity of 422 interlaced pine dowels, in a practical yet innovative craft-led response.?”

Neill’s posted a mini-build-video of the Latitude:
