The Arctic Rock Collection by Jasper van Grootel
Dutch designer Jasper van Grootel has created the Arctic Rock Collection.
The uniquely shaped ‘Arctic Rock’ series is a collection of furniture with a facetted surface, completely sculpted out of solid wood and finished with a high gloss polished paintwork. The collection consists of tables, chairs, bar stools, seats and accessories for hotel, restaurant, or home living purposes. The matching ‘Diamond Vase’, made out of Bone China, has been developed in collaboration with Pol’s Potten.

Facets can be nice if they are integral to the structure. Distributing weight making the item stronger and less bulky.
In these examples it is only used as decoration. The massiveness of the furniture only degrades them.

i agree with Rudy… although I’m not a huge minimalist, I do find the many facets a bit unnecessary and a bit, well, ugly.

I appreciate where the idea is headed but I just can’t do it. I don’t find it appealing at all.
