Wave Column Detail
GRAVITY . A defiant force of nature , driving objects of mass together . This natural phenomenon serves as the inspiration behind Tollgard ’ s first collection of functional sculpture for The Refined Workshop . Exploring the gravitational attraction of objects around us , designers Staffan Tollgård and Filippo Castellani were moved to reinterpret convention and push the limits of material traditions .
Following a successful preview at FOCUS / 21 , the Wave Collection will officially launch during Frieze on Wednesday 13th October 2021 . A curated exhibition of Artist ’ s Proofs from the collection will be presented as part of an exclusive event at The May Fair Hotel , London .
The exhibition will be available to view from Wednesday 13th – Sunday 17th October 10am – 7pm
Tailors in stone , The Refined Workshop , worked to realise this vision with The Wave Collection . A series in marble , the collection features tables and objects that defy rules and turn assumptions on their head . Part of the Cheevers Poole family , the pioneering artisans at The Refined Workshop share Tollgard ’ s commitment to excellence in design and authentic craftsmanship .
A juxtaposition of soft curves and inherent strength , The Wave Collection highlights the importance of every surface within a design . These masterpieces bring intrigue to an otherwise overlooked surface - the underside of the tabletop - and are as much about what is absent as what is present . Seamlessly slotting together , the top gently rests on a graduated elliptical base . This collection achieves extraordinary complexity with apparent simplicity .
