The Oblique collection is an elegant rendition of the natural world.
Sporting engineered geometric design into natural landscapes creates a contemporary look and reminds us how geometry is not a handwrought, human design but is a deep natural thread that runs through our world. Humans have been endlessly inspired by natural functional forms and used them to solve problems. Now we can use those original inspirations and use them to solve problems within the natural world, such as loss of habitat.
The main body is engineered from oak, with a copper roof; both of these will change with the passage of seasons and over the longer term. This very nature blends perfectly in a garden setting, mirroring the nature that surrounds it. As with all work made with natural materials, each piece is unique in its texture and markings. While they are similar in shape, they will each age differently, a perfect counterpoint with their surroundings and neighbouring objects.
The genius of this collection is in the stand. A simple curve on its straight pole hides a secret. The stand has a unique adjustable height, which allows you to set the pieces hanging within the curve at different heights to alter perspectives within the outdoor space, be accessible to fill and clean, and help to reduce predation from ground-dwelling wildlife on visiting birds.
