The LARKBECK Collaboration Continues With New Sculptural Pieces

Furniture makers Rafe Mullarkey and Laszlo Beckett combined forces to create LARKBECK, a studio collaboration focused on creating with traditional cabinet making skills mixed with contemporary technologies. Their newest line of limited edition objects, much like their initial launch pieces, explore the decorative possibilities of everyday items. Made of solid hardwood, they have sculptural planes and contrasting surfaces. These pieces are set to debut at Design Shanghai, the first ever exhibition of UK design within China.
