Nick Fraser
Nick Fraser designs furniture and interior products for large-scale production, and exhibited at Milan for the first time. The essential elements of his designs are functionality and simplicity, combined with discovery, variation and surprise. By manipulating basic recognisable shapes and forms, his designs play with the familiar to create exciting products with new functions.
Chablé is an occasional table that cleverly combines two functions. The chair, laid on its side, forms the table base, but when the top is removed, the chair becomes a separate piece of furniture. This multifunctional design links two closely related objects and presents them in an entirely new context. Chablé offers two colour variations, achieved by simply reversing the top and the chair to their opposite sides.
Chop is an interior light that uses a strong graphical interpretation of the familiar lamp shape. Chop combines hardwood panels with light-gathering acrylic rods for soft and calming illumination, and comes in flatpack form.
