House of Destructo by Tessa Koot

Eindhoven-based designer Tessa Koot went big with her latest collection entitled House of Destructo. Collaborating with fellow artists and craftsmen, Koot created a series of furniture and objects d’art out of various materials like marble, steel, and brass. Working with these robust materials led to an increase in the size and weight of each of the pieces, which you’ll notice as a whole throughout the dark and quirky collection.
