About the work:

Arc Coffee Table 1 in Recycled Plastic by Zachary Frankel.

The Arc Series is a collection of forward-thinking furniture by Zachary Frankel crafted from post-industrial waste. Its aim is to elevate plastic above its current status to become mainstays in people’s lives and turn something discarded into something long lasting. Its elegant curves are reminiscent of bridges and create strong geometric forms through volume and repetition of line. Each piece in this collection is composed of UV stable and moisture resistant plastic making it suitable across both indoor and outdoor applications.

Arc Table 1 can be configured in a number of positions including being able to adjust the length to suit different needs and spaces. The arc series is cleverly constructed without the use of glue, using rods and bolts and can be easily disassembled and assembled as needed. The set can also be realised in a wide range of colour combinations.
