Bestraat Furniture
These furniture pieces are built around the commonly used 30 × 30 cm paving tile, placing a material often discarded and regarded as waste in a new context. The combination of paving tiles determines the function of each object.
The first piece in the collection, the Stoeptegel Stoel (‘Paving Tile Chair’), uses 30 × 30 and 15 × 30 tiles as its seat and backrest. The beechwood frame is developed through a scalable design system, with proportions adapted during the design process to suit different functions while maintaining a shared language across the collection.
Bestraat Carpet
This carpet is based on a surface made from used paving stones. Once part of a street, these stones were arranged into a new pattern that reflects their familiar use in public streets. The resulting surface was then documented and printed onto the carpet.
