South Korean designer Jeonghwa Seo has used purpose-cast aluminium tubes to create a collection of tables and benches, with their structure obscured behind frosted acrylic.
Each of the eight furniture pieces in the Cylinder series is defined by the fusion of rounded acrylic slabs and hollow metal tubing, arranged horizontally and vertically to create the framework for each piece.

Due to their translucency, the acrylic plates obscure the tubes to the point that only their approximate outline is visible, creating what Seo describes as an "intriguing interplay between shape, material, softness and brutality".

The acrylic is tinted with hues including light green, lilac, amber and white to contrast with the silver-grey tone of the aluminium.
