Called Grasshopper, the collection includes two tables and a chair made of  steel and aluminium, powder-coated in light green.

Legs narrow towards the feet while a pattern of round holes prevents water collecting on surfaces.

The bounding elegance of the forms and the pastel green perforated surfaces are simply enchanting.

The two GRASSHOPPER tables, one rectangular and the other square, may be used separately or together, as a reading table in a corner of the garden or a dining table on the patio.

Alongside the two tables in powder-coated aluminium and steel, the GRASSHOPPER chair rounds off the collection wonderfully. The chair seat and light legs belie its comfort and stability.

1968 Vespa Scooter Turned Into Functional Work Station

The donor for my furniture project was a 1968 Vespa sprint that was beyond restoration, making it the perfect candidate. I feel that this was a more honorable fate than the scrap metal yard.
