Originally conceived for a concept fashion store, this pouf holds thousands of obsolete anti-theft labels — the plastic security tags stripped from unsold or discarded clothing — packed into a semi-transparent grid structure. The connection to retail, value, obsolescence and the body is built into the material itself. Functionally it adapts: upright it's a seat, on its side a low table or plinth. Suited to industrial and minimal interiors, inside or out — and to spaces that welcome objects with something to say.
Objects in the Derivatives Series are fabricated from reclaimed materials. Subtle surface variations are part of the material’s history and contribute to the individuality of each piece. The following terms describe the visible material character.
Great
Minimal visible surface variation. The material appears clean and refined, either preserving only faint traces of its previous life or presenting a newly applied finish.
Good
Minor surface marks or tonal variations may be visible, reflecting the reclaimed origin of the material.
Fair
Visible surface character including scratches, texture variation, patina, or signs of time from the material’s previous use.
