Revival: BCXSY uses traditional boat craft techniques for new collection

The collection is the third part of BCXSY’s Origin project, which explores a broad range of traditional craft techniques and re-appropriates them in a modern, minimal way. This time, the designers drew inspiration from the design processes commonly used by boat builders in the south of Ireland.

Techniques used to curve the outside of a boat have been used to create fruit bowls and interlocking wooden joints are transformed into stools and side tables.

LS:N Global is seeing more designers using traditional or long-forgotten skills and technologies during the creative process. BCXSY’s Contrast collection is a prime example of our Revivalism trend in practice.
