In Ineke Hans's Fracture collection for Cappellini, the designer moved away from the traditional materials of wood, metal and plastic to opt for a more unusual selection, polyester plaster - the same material used to make casts. Wrapped around polystyrene foam, the plaster furniture is not only lightweight, but also extremely durable. The collection includes a chair, stool, side table and coat rack.
Fantastic!!!
I love it. I love the fact that the material used is unconventional. Wish I had thought of it first! (they say jealousy is the strongest form of flattery!) I hate to copy, but I will assuredly be attempting to create something for my kids from this medium!
