Details: Bench, stool, table and lamp in cast aluminum, varnished waterproof MDF, and veneer.



The normally complex aluminum casting process is radically simplified into an "extremely basic and low-cost mould system" suitable for local production: high temperature-resistant fabric clamped in a steel stencil, instantly reusable, producing no waste.



Designer: Paris-born Julien Carretero studied industrial design in France and England, graduated with a Masters from the Design Academy Eindhoven, and established his studio in Brussels, Belgium, in 2012.
