Form follows function – that’s the ethos 608 Design’s sole designer, Evan Bare, lives by. Characterized by geometric forms, hidden storage spaces and a pragmatic use of materials, Bare’s multi-functional furniture designs are the perfect match for cramped apartment dwellers and eco-designophiles. The Cubert chair, for instance, is riddled with cubbyholes in the arms and storage space under the seat, and it is made from enviro-friendly FSC-regulated plywood, formaldehyde-free panels, soy and natural wool. Bare lets structure guide the design process, and his pieces have a look that is simultaneously industrial and polished.
