London-based designers CASA ESTUDIO present KX Seating in Richlite, an FSC-certified recycled paper composite. Although made from paper, KX Seating is weather resistant and durable enough for a busy public realm. Prototyped in two different sizes, the benches are a deceptively simple slatted construction made using ‘off-the-shelf’ sheet material. Made specifically for King’s Cross, the construction method references the site’s industrial history, while its curved edges and exaggerated joins are reminiscent of children’s construction toys. Modular and according to a formula, it has the potential to roll out on a larger scale and to include tables, chairs, recliners etc. Focusing on the design of exhibitions, furniture and print, CASA ESTUDIO is the design studio founded by designer Andrés Ros Soto and artist Giles Round. Their work is characterised by bold use of colour, pattern and geometry.
