London Design Festival 2011: New Zealand furniture brand Resident have launched their inaugural collection at designjunction during the London Design Festival.
The collection includes the Flyover Table, made of two folded sheets of steel that slot into upright fins, the Hawk table and chairs in oak and an upholstered armchair called Felix.
The cantilevered Spar lamp completes Resident's first collection and was inspired by the rigging on sailing ships.
Designjunction will take place at Victoria House Basement, 37 – 63 Southampton Row, London WC1B 4DA from 22 to 25 September and Dezeen Watch Store will be there - more details in our earlier story.
