Rail Collection

Looking to the world of architecture and his background in steelworking when creating the Rail collection, Japanese designer Keiji Ashizawa explored the way in which we use space and the way in which design elements can be adapted to serve contrasting functions. The neat, precision-made desk and shelf in natural or stained oak conveys a sense of serene practicality. With multiple functions – as a desk, counter or shelf to store books, hung at any height you choose – they lend themselves to almost any setting, fitting neatly into living areas as well as bedrooms where space is at a premium. The minimalist steel bracket of each design is inspired by the handrail of a staircase and the wooden platform gives a tactile contrast.
