Designer and architect
Rafael de Cárdenas was probably the most talked about designer during the
ICFF in New York last week after he unveiled his debut furniture collection at the
Johnson Trading Gallery. The collection, described as an homage to Bruce Goff and Frank Lloyd Wright, is characterised by his trademark aesthetic: a fearless combination of Navajo inspired, saturated colour and bold geometry.

Finished in a mix of veneered cypress, neon gradients and simple plywood, each piece takes the cube as the underlying structural form. Through rotation, mirroring and multiplication, each piece is composed from cubes fastened by triangular or semi-circular forms.

The full collection includes: two benches, a console table, a dresser, a pair of nightstands, a hexagonal dining table with six nesting chairs, a planter chair, and two cabinets. The pieces will be on display until June 25 at Johnson Trading Gallery, 490 Greenwich Street New York 10013.
