the entire snow collection
I think the majority of us can agree that this year’s winter was pretty brutal. And since it’s been on everyone’s minds the past several months, a winter-induced chill factor has been influencing the design world. First it was fashion. Now, furniture.
At this year’s Milano Salone, Junpei Tamaki is presenting “Snow,” a collection of furniture inspired by cold weather, ice and – finally – the great thaw.
The “Snowscape” cabinet | hexagonal holes on the sliding doors overlap to create different patterns of snowflakes
The “Fluffy” dining chair uses wood and cushioning to express new, fluffy snow.
The triple spiral linear structure of the “Sleet” shelf is designed to reflect the image of fallen sleet.
The “Thaw” sofa. The softly exposed wood appears to be poking out of thawing snow.
