EXCAVATION - Evicted

Rated one of the top 15 shows in the 2017 Milan Design week, EXCAVATION: Evicted transforms several tons of material mined from the foundations of a London design studio into a furniture series. Designer Paul Cocksedge began drilling into the floor of his Hackney building after he was told he would be evicted to make room for the construction of a luxury apartment complex.
