London architect and interior designer Rabih Hage envisaged ‘The Leftover Collection’, a series of furniture pieces designed for the Corian® Colour Evolution launch in Milan. The exhibition gleaned plenty of attention and praise for its stunning appearance and innovative and thoughtful concepts.
The collection is based on the use of leftover material and its reuse, treating the off-cuts and discarded planks used in the building of furniture as a “noble material”, reused in new luxurious furniture pieces.
The combination of Corian with oak, ply wood and steel provided significant challenges of both construction and weight. Each layer of material for the lamination was carefully selected and profiled on the CNC in order for the pieces to come together seamlessly and hollowed out to minimize the weight. Although the pieces look haphazardly assembled, precision was taken in shaping each layer ensuring they all came together as planned.
