Intriguing colour, boldly combined

27.01.2022

In 2018, London-based product designer Tino Seubert designed the 'Anodised Wicker' collection, comprising a stool and bench. Additional colour variants and an armchair have since been added. BWB recently anodised the newest member of the stool family.

And, despite the technology available, manual work still continues to be applied where necessary. BWB's anodisers even create exceptional, non-standard colours:

Once the protective anodised layer has been established, the aluminium profiles are immersed in a dye bath. The amount of time spent in the bath has a bearing on saturation and thus shade – the longer the bath time, the darker the colour. At Tino Seubert's request, BWB-Purple 340 was turned into the new and paler shade of "BWB Lilac".

"Materials are much more than just a production medium for me. They are an essential part of the concept, and are instrumental in making an object what it is."
Tino Seubert

Seubert's seats are a mix of traditional craftsmanship and industrial production – a bold combination of clinical aluminium and the warm, natural material.

The lilac-coloured stool from the "Anodised Wicker" collection will be on display from 5 February 2022 in the pop-up presentation DesignGalerie @ Museum at the Kunstgewerbemuseum Winterthur.
