an industrial style low table marks the cassina debut of dutch designer linde freya tangelder. A functional piece designed for contemporary decor, thanks to its minimalist lines and sculptural look.

made of stainless steel, and employing a complex process that hides the connections, the soft corners coffee table, along with the ottomans in the collection, is a versatile interior design piece.

composed of three pieces that echo the same curved lines of the upholstered elements but with an interesting interplay of negative and positive spaces, the coffee table can overlay one of the three ottomans in an eloquent juxtaposition of warm and cold materials.

soft corners is a collection of architectural pieces that can be combined in different ways to create dynamic arrangements suited to any setting. To complement the upholstered pieces, dutch designer linde freya tangelder has designed an industrial style coffee table with clean lines and a sculptural look. Made of stainless steel, it is composed of three pieces, assembled through an intricate, very precise process that hides the connections from view. It echoes the same curved design of the ottomans but with a captivating interplay of positive and negative spaces. The open, functional lines of this piece can be adapted to different interpretations of use ‒ in addition to providing a table-top surface, magazines or objects can be placed inside it. In an eloquent juxtaposition of warm and cold materials, the coffee table coordinates with the upholstered pieces in terms of functionality and style and is designed to overlap one of the three ottomans.
soft corners is a product of the experimental work of linde freya tangelder during her in residence experience in turin, italy. Thanks to the cultural support of cassina, consistently committed to promoting shows and cultural initiatives, the designer had the opportunity to investigate the relationship between limited-edition collection design and larger-scale furniture production, and to craft a project perfectly balanced between the two. Revisiting a practice that was the true driver of italian art during the renaissance period, the cassina research and development centre – through this partnership – launched the patronage project with the aim of pursuing innovative ideas and exploring new materials and production processes while supporting young talent. A commitment to innovation and excellence, in keeping with the cassina dna.

about the designer:
within the works of destroyers/builders an interaction between the furniture pieces exists in an overarching inspiration; found in architectural elements, materials or building techniques. Linde freya tangelder, founder of the studio, strives for sensory relevance and cultural value in detail and on a larger scale. The works have a sculptural and architectural character, and balance between contemporary and traditional elements. Inspired by architectural shapes, the furniture pieces highlight the field between industry and human, through diverse materials. Constructions are scaled down to human sizes, and translations result into sculptural gestures. Both low and high end materials get re-valued, reconsidered and transformed. The interventions and finishes by hand, give these architectural objects a tactile aspect. The contrast in materials, the touchability, and the human traces that are still visible in the object, explain the method of destroyers/builders. The urge to situate the works in a spatial context, in which the specific architectural space will start a dialogue with the objects therein, is a main focus of the studio. Integrations and relations between the context and the work, whether it is a sculpture, a furniture piece or an architectural fragment, result into inseparable connections between the disciplines. Destroyers/builders takes on projects that range from commissions to self-initiated projects, and extend across the realms of both architectural furniture and interior projects. The practice was founded in 2014 and is antwerp based.
