Furniture for sale

VISI’s stand at Design Indaba got much attention, thanks to a fantastic collaboration with furniture designers Pedersen + Lennard. Good news is that the range of furniture featured on the stand is now for sale.

Luke Pedersen and James Lennard have their feet firmly planted in the reality of material process and product.

Their Cape-based Salt River workshop, which is piled high with wood off-cuts and discarded drawers waiting to be transformed into new objects, is the scene of many debates around the pros and cons of using materials such as textiles versus leather, waste materials, and working with local manufacturers to create products of high quality.

“I can see how it might seem idealistic but much of our creative process is fuelled by material exploration,” Luke explains. “Not everything has to be brand-new; we think old objects can be renewed with a different perspective.”

The Bucket stool, one of the pieces for sale, is a case in point. Using a bucket for seating may not be a new idea but when it is transformed into a beautiful designed object that better suits this practical function, an original object is the result.

Recent projects include creating furniture for the much-publicised Old Mac Daddy project in Elgin and setting up Field Office, a shop-cum-studio in Cape Town’s CBD.
