Based in Toronto, Cradle is a collaborative team of designers that consists of Nicholas Koppelaar<\/a><\/span><\/span>, Jessye Grundlingh<\/a><\/span><\/span> and Andrew Kroetsch<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n

The team behind Cradle<\/a><\/span><\/span> created a minimal bench using a raw-cut tree slab and a white steel frame. The project’s name ‘Bench_01<\/a><\/span><\/span>‘ stems from the fact that the first piece cut from a maple leaf tree, labelled B_01, was originally used as the base of the bench. Through this piece, the studio is exploring how to repurpose and recycle materials in design.<\/p>\n
