AltCon friend, South African designer Ryan Frank, has announced that the renowned Milan gallery, Post Design, will now be representing him and featuring his work. Alberto Bianchi Albrici commissioned Ryan to design a piece that will be exhibited at his Milan based gallery, during and after the furniture fair in April.
Pictured is Ryan’s new creation, ‘ZiG’, a modular display/storage system made from solid bamboo. The unit’s castor wheels allow for ease of movement – linking these units creates a continuous array of striking negative spaces. ZiG will be available in a variety of naturally stained colours.
Ryan’s collection of ‘free-range’ furniture makes frequent use of sustainable and salvaged materials, and has subsequently received sustainability awards for 2006 and 2007 at the Annual Hidden Art Awards.

This handsome lighting fixture is created by Hennig Dyes, a 70 year old Costa Rican designer of German decent. He began designing and building wooden lamps as a hobby and has been in business for over 20 years. His concepts are inspired by designs he originally saw in Norway.
