We wholeheartedly love it when one man’s garbage becomes another’s treasure, and that’s just where the CORE collection got its start – with the idea of taking a piece of concrete rubble from a construction site that would normally be discarded and turning it into something more desirable.
Oliver Whyte, aka Ross Robertson (full name Ross Oliver Whyte Robertson), is the Cape Town-based multidisciplinary design studio behind the five piece collection of two coffee tables and three side tables. Each one – named Ledge, 6, Rough, Collar, and Flat – begins with an oversized concrete base that is then shaped in different ways until it’s able to support a light tabletop, creating quite the balance of heavy and light. No two ever end up being the same, adding all the more personal value to each piece.
