Raw edges: design the third dimension

London based but born in Tel Aviv, Yael Mer and Shay Akalay share life, thoughts ideas and project and a studio where they self produce what is not yet. Like the collection created turning two-dimensional sheet materials into functional forms. The duo cuts long strips of rolled wool felt and coils them into a cone-like structure which is meant to act as a seat. The exterior of the form is then strengthened with an acrylic resin, whereby the felt becomes both the structure and the upholstery.
