Folded stainless steel angles run down the front legs of each chair in the Obiekt Collection collection by BRUD STUDIA and continue directly into the seat, one bent piece doing the work of both a structural leg and a seat edge. BRUD STUDIA designed the table and chairs, shown by Oigåll Projects in Fitzroy, Melbourne, Australia.

Brud Studia is a Melbourne interior and furniture design practice working across residential and commercial interiors, furniture, lighting, and objects, treating architecture, art, and design as parts of one continuous decision instead of separate disciplines applied in sequence. The table and chairs pair a joinery technique with a metal fabrication technique in a single object, instead of using one material simply to trim another. The studio’s other stated interest, in the emotional character of everyday objects, is legible in the seat edge, where the folded steel angle catches light differently depending on where someone sits or stands nearby.

Oigåll Projects, the gallery presenting the collection, was founded in 2021 as both a commercial showroom and an experimental design space. Exhibitions there are built as full material environments rather than hung on bare walls, and the BRUD STUDIA pieces carry that same instinct for treating furniture as a built proposition rather than a finished style statement.

The seats, backs, and tabletops start as three-quarter-inch premium birch plywood, pressed with a walnut timber veneer instead of built from solid walnut boards. The engineered core keeps the panels flat and stable, while the veneer carries the color and grain of solid timber across generous surfaces.

The steel plays two different structural roles across the family. On the chairs, the folded angle is load-bearing, forming the front legs before continuing along the seat perimeter. The table has no equivalent need for steel legs, so the same Grade 304 No.4 stainless steel instead spans the full top surface, moving from a structural material on one piece to a surface material on the other while keeping the same folded, brushed vocabulary across the set. The No.4 finish reflects diffusely rather than mirrors, so the steel picks up the color and movement of whatever room it sits in, shifting through the day against the fixed tone of the walnut veneer.
