1 x 1 Trestles for 100% Design
Design for TEN AGAIN
After the success of the 2006 exhibition 10 TEN X, the same designers teamed up again the following year – at 2007’s 100% Design for TEN AGAIN – each creating an edition of 10 pieces from scaffolding planks.
Geometrical trestles
After the success of 10 TEN X, the same designers teamed up again the following year at 2007’s 100% Design for TEN AGAIN to each create an edition of 10 pieces from scaffolding planks.
Using lengths of 1” x 1” timber, which were made by slicing scaffolding planks lengthways, they crafted a collection of five different trestles. Each trestle combined geometrical forms in a unique way to create a flat surface on which to rest a tabletop.
The collection was complemented with a series of interior objects, including lamps, a chair, a ruler, and hooks, all made from the same 1” x 1” wooden sections.
The simplicity of the section and rawness of the wood blended well together and led to a collaboration with Habitat, resulting in a table, floor lamp, and pendant lamp.
