Book table

Renowned Dutch designer Richard Hutten’s Book Desk was created as part of his Layers’ furniture series, comprised of designs where the construction process remains transparent.

“A book is all about layers of meaning,” Hutten comments.  “Design is not only about beautiful forms, but also about the stories an object can tell.” The handmade limited edition furniture designs reveal traces of rough manual work.

“The title of the show, Layers, refers to the fact that each of the pieces is built in layers, each in its own way, which also has to be read as a statement, a plea for more depth in the design world,” explains the artist.
