When conceiving the Orca collection of freestanding partition screens for Seattle design brand Memo Furniture, Los Angeles-based designer Alex Brokamp reflected on a favourite childhood pastime – skipping stones across the river near his home in Loveland, Ohio. This fond memory translated into organically shaped soft volumes suspended within delicate metal frames, a pairing that references “the weightless energy a stone has when skipping across a body of water,” Brokamp notes.
