Brodie Neill is an Australian designer from Tasmania whose interest in form took shape at the University of Tasmania. He went on to a master's degree at the Rhode Island School of Design, where he developed a digital approach to design, and worked in New York before establishing his own studio in London's East End. The studio produces objects ranging from production pieces to special editions, characterised by seamless, flowing forms and close attention to material. His contribution to Riva 1920 is the Curve Bench (2012), crafted from one solid piece of scented cedar. Its curved underside, cut away beneath the seat, exposes the grain and the natural range of tones in the wood. The bench is offered in several lengths and in natural or vulcano cedar.
