Carlsten Thostrup

Carlsten Thostrup did not actually exhibit the 'Reel Cabinet' at their stand in last weeks Milan Design Festival, but I think it is their standout piece. The design has an immediacy about it, the detailing not necessarily being central, but rather a mechanical physicality coming to the fore. The space frame legs feel a little short and the wheels slightly large, but it doesn't matter. It's just very honest and engaging; I want to use it, hear what it sounds like, (and get lost in that blue).
