The robust, curved volumes of ‘carapace’ draw on the dutch designer’s admiration of the 1950s refrigerator, combining these with organic forms found in nature. comprised of an armchair, desk, cupboard, small and wide cabinet, each of these pieces is characterized by a patchwork of bronze plating, dot welded piece-by-piece, forming the skin or ‘shell’ of the furniture, acting as a protective shield, similar to a turtle shell. collectively the pieces reflect the idea of the protective in harmony with the beautiful.
