Benjamin Hubert will launch a new series of lighting called Roofer for Italian lighting company Fabbian . Inspired by roof tiles found in Marrakech a single “tile” is used to clad various steel frame works. This allows for different shaped lamps to be created from a single tile. The consumer can build their own lamp from a framework and selection of different colored tiles, allowing for customization as the end user becomes part of the design process. The tile is manufactured from a flexible silicon polymer which both allows the module to be formed around a compound curvature framework as well as allowing some light through its translucent structure

1. Friday Five with Benjamin Hubert

Benjamin Hubert is back with a new design, a bookshelf called Foundation for Heal’s . Foundation is made of a dark grey Valchromat with incorporated folded steel powder coated box files with matching leather pull handles. The combination of industrial materials and softer tactile details emphasizes the brutalist language while retaining a sense of tradition found in the leather bindings of books. Valchromat is a wood fiber board colored with organic dyes specifically developed and bonded with resin to ensure that the natural appearance and characteristics of the fiber remain in tact. The wood is sourced from forest waste and recycled pine.
