This is the umpteenth brilliant confirmation of Cocksedge’s conceptual depth. “Excavation: Evicted” is the physical reaction to the designer's eviction from his studio of 12 years in London to make room for property development. The purpose of this project was to “celebrate and release the tension and creative energy that have shaped the space.” Cocksedge drilled down into the studio’s floor to excavate layered cores of heavy material that he then transformed into five distinct and powerful pieces of furniture by adding immaterial sheets of glass.
