Strata Collection is a minimalist furniture collection created by Brooklyn-based designers Fort Standard. Ranging from raw brass to anodized aluminum and subtle off-white powder coating, Fort Standard presents an impressive range of materials and finishes across a minimal yet highly livable collection of new work. The attention to quality and detail shown by Fort Standard is consistent with that which they have built their reputation on.

Strata is a system composed of machined rod components that thread together creating structure and holding captive the precision milled metal plates which act as functional surfaces.
