Splinter
chair/bench
Matthew Kroek for Jane Hamley Wells
Matthew Kroeker's Splinter, introduced in 2006 takes as it's inspiration, the ups and downs of romantic relationships. Consisting of two individual chaits with an irregular, dynamic pattern of slats along one side, Splinter merges to form a solid, sensational piece. The concept evokes the fragility of relationships, the constant flux between breaking apart and coming together. The chair, equally eye-catching and functional, is designed for both indoor and outdoor use and is available in superfine Grade-A teak with an electro-polished stainless steel frame.

(ORIGINAL MODEL or WITH SOLID ONE-PIECE BACKREST)
Antoni Gaudí (1852/1926) is, without doubt, the most internationally well-known Spanish architect. But is not only his buildings and brilliant architectural solutions that have travelled the globe. His integrated conception of architecture led him to pay attention, not only to structural calculations, but also to all the decorative elements, including furniture, that would form part of the building. The admiration felt by modern designers for the furniture designed by Gaudí has not gone unnoticed by Bd which was the first company to rescue them from history by embarking on their serial production using traditional art and craft techniques and the same materials –varnished solid oak– in order to reproduce all the rich detail displayed by the originals when they were first produced.
In 1906, Antoni Gaudí finished work on the Casa Batlló, a typical urban house on Barcelona’s Passeig de Gràcia, which hetransformed into one of the most magical and outstanding buildings in the city. The furniture he originally designed for the maindining room is also preserved at the Gaudí Museum in the Park Güell. The Batlló chair and bench produced by Bd are an exact reproduction of those anatomical deigns, both in shape and materials.
