re-purposed brick and concrete furniture collection by nexusdesk

 

 

in an attempt to prolong the life of the traditional brick industry by re-using old machinery, taiwanese nexus design studio changes the fundamental relationship between brick and cement. by re-designing new moulds on re-purposed industrial machines to fit the prevalent electrical kilns, the exercise brings to life a collection of furniture that includes a table and series of chairs. when sandwiched together, the structural components contrast one another as they seamlessly connect at the joints.
