OKHA'S Carbon Collection:

six standalone pieces combines sculpture, art and design

OKHA’s Carbon Collection, a six-piece collection that combines sculpture, art and design as a single
notion together with light and tone to evoke a sense of sultry interior design curiosity.
The collection includes a mirror, lighting, console and accessories in moody charcoal finishes.
“Nothing is static, everything is in a state of flux, shifting, sometimes imperceptibly, sometimes
cataclysmically and in life as with the Carbon Collection our perceptions depend upon the angle from
which we are viewing from.” – Adam Court, OKHA Creative Director.
Mondo Coffee Table 
MONDO: In keeping with the enquiring design philosophy of OKHA, the Carbon Collection comprises
six objects which challenge preconceptions of structure, beauty and imagined realities: Black Rain,
High Voltage, Law & Disorder, Mondo, Rock Sculpture & Omega. 
These six designs bring into question aesthetic conformity and the presupposed need for order and
equi-balance. Contrary to the accepted norms of balance and symmetry, these designs revel in
asymmetry and a non-conformist provocation where form is unpredictable, non-uniform and beauty a
multi-lingual dialogue between mind and heart.
Mondo Coffee Table 
The elegant Mondo Coffee table is a paradoxical puzzle. The seemingly discordant composition of
vertical and horizontal wafer-thin steel profiles fuses together to create two perfectly concentric and
symmetrical squares. The vertical supports are diametrically opposed only visually revealing one pair
of supports at a time. It is balance and imbalance, random and systematic.

ROCK: CHANTEL Woodman’s Rock Sculptures are pure sculptural works which reiterate the
randomisation (or perhaps intuitive) arrangement of the facet evident throughout the collection. Rock
Sculptures evoke fossilised crystal formations, they remind us of the structural order and disorder
embedded in nature.

LAW & DISORDER: Similarly, each new perspective of Law and Disorder reveals unexpected
proportional and compositional changes. When viewed from above the 3 stainless steel legs and
drum-shaped shade form a balanced and harmonious encircled triangle with a likeness to the
universal modeling structures of fractals and elements in perfect orbit. In profile Law and Disorder
surprises and confuses as the three vertical flanges of the base jut out at seemingly disproportionate
and irregular angles.

HIGH VOLTAGE: High Voltage replicates the form of a pylon, its perforated lamp shade texturing and
filtering light. Powder coated steel bars run diagonally and form supportive beams. As one moves
around the lamp, a second set of bars becomes visible, cross etching the first. As with all the designs
in the Carbon Collection, black is the chosen colour, the emphasis being on pure form, graphic
expressionism and absolute values.
High Voltage
BLACK RAIN: Possibly the most profound work in the Carbon Collection is Black Rain. A mirror quite
unlike any other, multifaceted recessed and extended shafts of mirror replicate sculpted and shifting
tectonic plates and evoke shafts of harsh winter BLACK RAIN.

Nothing is static, everything is in a state of flux, shifting, sometimes imperceptibly, sometimes
cataclysmically and in life as with the Carbon Collection our perceptions depend upon the angle from
which we are viewing from.
OMEGA V: The sixth element in the Carbon Collection is the Omega V console. Vertical lines carved
into a carbon black finish reference a mantra of meditative minimalism. The solid oak timber frame
and stepped solid brass legs pay homage to the architectural inspiration of Art Deco.
