Beck started his design process by studying the natural formation of pebbles. Over years, sediments from mountain ranges are transported through glaciers and rivers until they reach the ocean – a process that slowly erodes the rough surface of the stones until a smooth and even shaped pebble is left. 

For him, this process was the embodiment of the SLOW brief. His collection of tables and stools alludes to a pile of pebbles, the smoothed edges and neutral colours bring a sense of calm -  a deceleration that stands in direct contrast to the fast-paced world of our day and gives the term “slow furniture” a new shape.
