SOLID ROCK STREET FURNITURE
19 Dec 2016
Concrete street furniture by Australian designer Alexander Lotersztain has taken centre stage at Miami Design 2016, with the furniture suite based on faceted quartz making a dramatic open space statement.
Based on the shape of quartz, the new street furniture collection manufactured by Hungary-based manufacturers Ivanka was presented at Design Miami 2016, displayed in-situ in two different locations.
Originally created in stainless steel, the reinvented QTZ collection has been realised in concrete by Australian designer Alexander Lotersztain and is suitable for a variety of applications, including public spaces.
“As a designer, there is no greater satisfaction than to collaborate with a company that focuses on innovation and strives to push the boundaries of the material to new levels. I am excited to see the evolution of QTZ in concrete and showcase Ivanka’s expertise in the field; creating a new contemporary urban element typology”, expresses Alexander Lotersztain.
The 4-piece furniture suite consists of two lounge chairs, one with a headrest, one without, a table and a footrest. Based on naturally occurring forms and crystallisation process of quartz, the faceted concrete pieces make a designer statement in a range of colours - off-white, mouse grey, rock grey, green and tobacco.
"This collection of concrete seating elements reflects the design's prismatic beauty as a contrast to the metal collection, and explores architectural qualities of the material and marks the constant search for innovation of Ivanka's experienced research and development team," said the brand.
