Project | Afends. Byron Bay
Afends.
Concept Store | 2/6 Lawson St, Byron Bay
Born in 2006 in the small Australian coastal town of Byron Bay, Afends was founded by Declan Wise and Jonathan Salfield off the back of a small screen printing business. They created as 20-something-year-olds to print band merchandise for punk and hardcore bands.
To show off the newly revamped concept store they held an event, jointly celebrating the release of Follow Your Dreams x Nirvana Selwood. They held an intimate in-store art exhibition with Nirvana and their latest collaborative collection.
As this humble brand is one of the front-runners in leading the charge in eco-friendly and environmentally neutral clothing, it was no surprise when they decided to go with our Recycled Concrete Linear.
We have seen a massive increase in the popularity of fittings made from raw materials. In this particular space, the tactile but still sleek pendant placed within the crisp and clean surroundings becomes the perfect feature.
Linear pendants are perfect for task lighting, and by dropping this pendant low over the table, the team has created an intriguing display.
Contrasting the light and the dark, Nirvana draws upon the two foundations from which we build our entire lives; faith and fear.
