London based design duo that’s been attracting lots of attention. ‘Stack’ (above) is a chest of drawers without the chest, part of MoMA’s permanent collection.

Both graduates from the Royal College of Art in 06, Yael focuses on sheet materials that can be transformed into three dimensional objects, while Shay plays with how things move, function, and react. I find the later influences particularly interesting, evident in the ‘Stack’ as well as the following (’Pivot’ and ‘Cut Attache’z’). Work from their studio ‘Raw-Edges‘ is produced by Established & Sons of Great Britain.
