Designers: Sam Hecht and Kim Colin
Hecht and Colin approached the design of Formwork and its Large and Small Trays by examining the items that populate our lives and our desks. In their design for the line’s trays, they gave each tray a cantilevered ledge to allow the placement of items in order of usefulness—giving you ready access to some things and letting you place others in the background.
"The true nature of what serves us on a daily basis is far more varied than we might have imagined."Sam Hecht and Kim Colin
Balancing meticulous attention to details with a thoughtful consideration of context, Hecht and Colin created Formwork in varying permutations, allowing some items to be kept out of view, while others remain within reach, based on aesthetic considerations or frequency of use. The sophisticated forms, material production, and color palette indicate a level of thoughtfulness rarely brought to desktop goods. Each form is shaped in ABS plastic with a non-slip silicone base.
