'toastbank'

rainer spehl is berlin-based designer who in addition to collaborating with designer martino gamper on a number
of projects, also creates pieces for his own collection. gamper and spehl have collaborated on a series of
furniture recycling projects entitled 'we make remake'. the idea of the series is to collect scrap furniture and
materials and reassemble them into completely new pieces. in 2004 they built a custom seating unit for 'toastbank',
a berlin café. the two also collaborated on 'coming home', a hanging lamp which is made in the same way as a
soccer ball.

on his own rainer creates equally interesting projects. 'qoffee' is a stool shaped like a plastic coffee cup. without a
reference for scale you might like these curious cups were the real thing. also check out the concrete and walnut
kitchen unit he designed in collaboration with betonware.
