The collection, which includes three chairs and a table, is the result of Thorose exploring the concept of a circle trapped inside a square. A circle is limitless, whereas a square is limited, so it s inherently problematic, the designer told Dezeen Each form is a circle traversing the cube-like spaces held by furniture, he added.
