The Wave Collection

The Impossible. Made Possible.
Introducing The Wave Collection

Simon directed and edited this short film for The Refined Workshop and Tollgard, telling the story of The Wave Collection and helping to launch the functional sculptures. Simon also photographed the creative and construction processes and filmed the collection in Slovenia, together with help from Daniel Marsh.

Below is an except from the press release on the Tollgard website:

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 sculptures 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.

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.
