Timid pencil sketches were followed by dabs of paint and the artwork evolved. Days passed, and when the design duo were satisfied with a piece, they unscrewed it and returned to their workshop.

They milled the panels into smaller components, fashioning them into a series of simply-shaped furniture. Their first piece was the “Zerifin 35” console (see lead image), named after the street where the graffiti art was made. The vibrantly colored series is called “Street Capture” and it includes a console, coffee table, and end tables.
