Description

The Two Halves credenza, from Nolan T.K’s Contemporary Waste collection, is an example of designing through curation. By first selecting the found materials he wanted to use; stone, wire shelf, OSB and corrugated plastic, the limitations of these materials informed the design. The 24×12″ rough dimensions of the stone tiles largely influenced the overall silhouette of the piece. The OSB box adds a vertical division as well as torsional rigidity to the piece. The three layer laminated top visually grounds the piece as well as secures the wire shelf sides together.

– Fasteners are highlighted not hidden
– this piece is a one off and is made from diverted waste

About Nolan Talbot-Kelly Visit Showroom →

Nolan Talbot-Kelly (b. 1995) is a designer living and working in Vancouver, BC. He holds a Bachelor of Design from Emily Carr University of Art + Design.Drawing influence from the built environment—brackets, fasteners, supports, and infrastructural details— Talbot-Kelly creates furniture, lighting, and sculptural pieces rooted in craftsmanship and conceptual inquiry. His design language blurs the boundary between utility and aesthetic by appropriating mass-produced materials in ways that transcend their commercial utility.Talbot-Kelly embraces constraint as both a conceptual and practical framework. His prioritization of sustainability through reuse has led to a design process that embraces limitation - material, technical, or circumstantial constraints result in pragmatic, ad hoc solutions born from working with what is at hand. These lines of inquiry culminate into one-off works poised between function and sculpture, limited series and scalable designs developed for production.Talbot-Kelly’s work has been exhibited in Canada and the United States and he is the co-creator of Obj:Obj, a design exhibition showcasing Vancouver’s independent design scene.
