Designer Axel Yberg and his furniture design firm, Akke Functional Art, create furniture that explores the juxtaposition of industrial, man made components and elements of finished and raw-edged wood. The pieces pictured here, like the evocatively named “Plumber’s Crack’ (photo above), feature a skeleton constructed of recycled plumbing fixtures and pipes that supports surfaces of live-edged, reclaimed wood.

amazing… minimalism meets pragmatism… would be fantastic paired with a piece of Japanese origami to underline it’s functionality… beautiful by itself
