Orientation
from $1,200.00
Orientation is a coffee table that marries two materials and presents a contemporary object informed by traditional craft techniques.
Elliot Bastianon is a furniture designer based in Canberra, Australia. Graduating in 2012 from the Australian National University with a BA/BVA (Honours), he has a diverse material palette and attempts to extrapolate the most from everyday things around him; often combining materials in ways that he hopes will direct his practice down a path not often taken.
For Bastianon, furniture isn’t just something utilitarian. It’s an apparatus of communication, a tool to deliver a message or encourage a different way of seeing the world.
Bastianon is also the founder and studio director of the shared workshop, Six Wiluna, a place that provides machinery and space for early career designers to develop their practices.
Orientation expresses the capacity of an acoustic sheet to function in furniture applications. In this piece, two sheets of EchoPanel® are bent to form large ‘V’ sections which are then fixed to the underside of the oak top. To resolve the problem of joining these dissimilar materials, inspiration was taken from traditional methods of furniture construction and bespoke timber fasteners were created.
