“COLLECT” is a set of furniture pieces, made entirely from repurposed materials, found in the city of Brussels. RRR stands for the projects’ creators: De Roo, Rosa Castelo Ortiz, and Rombouts. The collection comprises three main pieces and two candle holders. The first is a versatile coffee table/shelving unit, made using sliding systems from Pöttker, transforming from a low coffee table into a shelving unit with Polycarbonate panels held together by welded profiles. The second is a distorting mirror, created by polishing an old etching plate to leave a cloud-like pattern that distorts reflections. The third is a lightweight shelf made from insulation material, suspended on the wall by a contrasting, heavy metal structure, reused from an old foldable table.
To combine the set we also made two candleholders. One from computer parts and one from a metal pipe and lamppost.
