LE MILE is an internationally published fashion, contemporary art and culture magazine who recruited Heath to write this in-depth profile piece on these compelling works of design.
It includes designers whose works are part of MoMA’s permanent collection, bedframes that “evoke a sense of weightlessness,” and other furniture made from biocomposite materials, rendering them completely recyclable.
TATKRAFT – ION Bed, Süleyman Mazanli , Unique hand welded piece, 1600 x 2000 x 300 mm, Germany
