Barrel is a minimal furniture collection created by London-based designer Philippe Malouin. British-Canadian Philippe Malouin holds a bachelor’s degree in Design from the Design Academy Eindhoven. He has also studied at the École Nationale Supérieure de Création Industrielle in Paris and University of Montreal. The Barrel collection is a range of designs that are a streamline interpretation of wine or whiskey barrels, used as a table base. The design is formed by the repetition of a single wood plank, for both the circular bases, and in laminated form for the creation of the solid tops. The result is a simple yet sturdy, brutalist home object.
