‘Contemporary Vanity’ Hanging Rail by Joseph Ellwood for Six Dots

The Contemporary vanity collection asks the question: What should the furniture of the future be?

Each piece from the collection is made from raw finished aluminium, a material that can be readily reused and recycled. This recyclability, coupled with new low carbon cathode technologies, make aluminium a sustainably plausible material for the future.

The aesthetic of the collection aims to challenge and disrupt the mid-century norms of furniture today. I have taken inspiration from the likes of Perriand and Prouvé and distorted their pieces to create a body of work that relates to our current generation. The lives we live today are fluid in gender, identity, expression and thought. This collection represents this confusion, indecision and anxiety in a whimsical and endearing way.

This collection aims to question what it means to reflect your identity though the objects surrounding you.

The hanging rail takes a traditionally mundane bedroom element and elevates it into a design piece worth of your favourite items of clothing.

Each of our pieces is hand made to order, therefore slight variation from object to object can be expected.
