‘Magma.’, interpret as you will, sees a collection of organically intertwined shapes that are, you guessed it, stools.

In total, the collection comprises twelve pieces and two prototypes, each piece in varying materiality and slight in differing shapes and mass. Named after elements of travel and movement, the idea was to recreate a sort of modernised totem, or a series of, in the way in which the pieces express simplicity and their interconnectedness of form. Traditional mooring shapes inspire each stool and the geometric patterns of the habour landscape; landscapes where bollards dot the intersection between land and water. The connection to these shapes is pretty obvious, in a surprisingly interesting way, and almost forces the audience to rethink the innate aesthetic qualities in the original formal shape. Ordinarily only seen as a mainly functional anchor, pun intended, the fluid nature of these shapes is rarely celebrated. In this case, Delvigne is doing just that. Except in a more sophisticated, carrara and leather-clad way.
