Spazio Rosanna Orlandi presented Playground Closes at Dusk, Nacho Carbonell's first collection of furniture designed specifically for outdoor use, at Art Basel Design Miami last month. Comprising five pieces, the limited-edition collection makes strong use of Carbonell's signature primal forms and tactile surfaces.

Shaped like ladders, cones and loudspeakers, the metal constructions explore ideas of our sensory experiences and memories. Users are invited to climb to new heights, with the organisers emphasising that "the pieces are supposed to be smelled, touched, climbed and heard".

Materials used range from concrete to stainless steel, glass, resin and cast bronze - and Carbonell worked with Barnabe Fillion & Borre Akkersdijk, perfume designers, to complete the project.
