Designer Spotlight: Torsten Plate

Torsten Plate is a Dutch designer that has a prolific history of interior design. His pieces are simple and modern, using minimalist influences and industrial inspiration. The above pictured Spine chair is made from a smooth piece of wood that is layered with a row of firm horizontal cushions. Its two-toned appearance and variable shape make it an eye-catching piece of lounge furniture. Plate also has a line of appliances and accessories, including the below pictured Toost toaster. It features a modular appearance, bold black and white colors, and a refreshing simplicity in the face of the increasingly complex appliances that seem to be hitting the shelves in stores.
