Frapping Bench
This bench is a collaboration between Rik van Veen and Rein Reitsma.
Rik is known for his reuse of plastic. As a modern craftsman, he works with discarded plastic streams, such as gas pipes, transforming them into furniture. Rein is also known for his contemporary craftsmanship, but he prefers to use rope, knotting, and basket-weaving techniques in his own unique way. The two designers have shared a studio for several years now, and the way they strengthen each other is clearly visible in this collaborative work.
