Foundation is a shelf designed by Benjamin Hubert. It is made of a dark grey Valchromat with incorporated folded steel powder coated box files with matching leather pull handles.The combination of industrial materials and softer tactile details emphasises the brutalist language while retaining a sense of tradition found in the leather bindings of books.
Valchromat is a wood fibre board coloured with organic dyes specifically developed and bonded with resin to ensure that the natural appearance and characteristics of the fibre remain in tact. The wood is sourced from forest waste and recycled pine. With a environmentally friendly manufacturing process and zero carbon emissions, Hubert’s use of sustainable material and advanced technical methods minimize environmental impact, an important concern for the designer.
