Bonsai and Meridian by Brodie Neill illustrate the designer’s sculptural work, which transforms sustainable materials into “museum-grade pieces that blend an enduring design language with state-of-the-art digital technology.”

Designed as a special commission, Bonsai is a shelving centerpiece with multiple levels emanating from a central vertebra. Bonsai’s bronze patination emphasizes its sculptural form.

Crafted from reclaimed African hardwood, Meridian bench gives new life to more than 2000 blocks of herringbone parquet floor from a school in Leicester. Using state-of-the-art robotics, Neill sculpted the rich bench into an undulating form with beautiful asymmetry: “The smooth undulations dissect through varying dark hues of hardwood, exposing the offset construction through a constant flow of end grain to long grain.”

Tasmanian designer Brodie Neill studied at the Hutchins School and the University of Tasmania in Australia. He also holds a master’s degree in furniture design from the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD).
