Just because a piece of furniture is deemed minimalist, it doesn’t mean that technology, sustainability, and innovation cannot play a role in it. In fact, it can incorporate various themes as long as the design is well thought of and the materials that will be used to produce it are also taken into consideration. This newest collection from Roc H Biel is able to take inspiration from classical architecture while also using the latest technology to create something that would appeal to those looking to bridge the past and the present (and even a bit of the future) into the furniture that they’re bringing into their space.
Dust Order is a sculptural furniture collection that reinterprets classical architectural elements through a modern, sustainable lens. Centered around a chair and a modular desk system, the collection draws direct inspiration from the ornate Corinthian columns of ancient Greek and Roman architecture, known for their elaborate details and symbolic grandeur. Roc H Biel reimagines these historical forms by stripping them down to their essential components and infusing them with contemporary design language. Through careful exploration of visual weight, structural rhythm, and ornamental balance, they transform familiar classical motifs into something entirely new. He also challenges conventional materials and production methods by using upcycled beech wood dust and 3D printing technology, giving the collection a distinctly modern and environmentally conscious edge
Designer: Roc H Biel
The collection looks imposing and heavy at first glance with its stone-like and sand-cast appearance. But actually the pieces are light and circular, made by compacting and stacking beech wood dust and adding 3D-printed columns with a bonded mix of magnesium with it. The three-piece system gets a stone-like appearance to the chair while the geometry shifts from octagon to circle to square while the modular desk system transforms into various configurations. You can also use it as a stool, bench, side table, and even a dining table.
This thoughtful combination of ancient aesthetics and cutting-edge processes results in a furniture collection that is not only visually compelling but also deeply symbolic. Dust Order invites users to reflect on how form, function, and sustainability can intersect without compromise. It challenges the notion that tradition and innovation must be at odds, offering instead a harmonious blend of both. Roc H Biel’s work does more than just furnish a space. It provokes a conversation about design’s evolving role in a world increasingly aware of its past, present, and environmental future.
