Description

New ideas can come in many forms. With ‘Glissade’, Christian Heikoop puts methodology first. Seeking an easy way to assemble furniture inspired by retro camping equipment, he created a series that can be put together in a flash, without the need for extra tools or screws. Metal tubes are simply slid into pre-cut leather sleeves. Flat, 2D design instantly becomes a functional 3D object. The resulting collection displays a new aesthetic shaped through the manner in which it is made.
