Where ๐ณ๐๐ฟ๐ป๐ถ๐๐๐ฟ๐ฒ becomes ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ๐บ, and form becomes ๐ฒ๐
๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ.
This sculptural bench explores the intersection of ๐จ๐ฆ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ต๐ณ๐บ, ๐ฎ๐ข๐ต๐ฆ๐ณ๐ช๐ข๐ญ ๐ธ๐ข๐ณ๐ฎ๐ต๐ฉ, and ๐ฒ๐ถ๐ช๐ฆ๐ต ๐จ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ธ๐ตโemerging through ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐บ๐ฒ๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฐ ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐๐ถ๐ด๐ป where repetition becomes rhythm and structure transforms into surface.
Formed from layered ๐ฝ๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ๐๐ผ๐ผ๐ฑ ribs, the piece unfolds as a continuous curveโguiding the body, blurring the line between ๐ผ๐ฏ๐ท๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ and ๐๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ฒ.
What defines this piece is its exploration of ๐ฎ๐ถ๐ญ๐ต๐ช-๐ฎ๐ข๐ต๐ฆ๐ณ๐ช๐ข๐ญ๐ช๐ต๐บ.
Precision-cut sections and contours are accentuated with ๐ฏ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐ ๐ถ๐ป๐น๐ฎ๐๐โintroduced within the notches to create moments of contrast and continuity. Two subtle layers of brass break the visual monotony, adding depth, rhythm, and a refined material dialogue.
At its core, a sculpted brass element stands as a point of stillnessโbalancing the fluidity of the wooden form.
Together, wood and brass create a conversation between:
๐ฏ๐ข๐ต๐ถ๐ณ๐ฆ and ๐ฑ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ค๐ช๐ด๐ช๐ฐ๐ฏ
๐ธ๐ข๐ณ๐ฎ๐ต๐ฉ and ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ง๐ญ๐ฆ๐ค๐ต๐ช๐ฐ๐ฏ
๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ท๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ต and ๐ด๐ต๐ช๐ญ๐ญ๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ด๐ด
More than a seat, it becomes a ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฐ๐ต๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐๐ฝ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ฎ๐น ๐ฒ๐
๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ.
This piece is part of an ongoing series by ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐[๐๐๐], reflecting over a decade of exploration in ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐บ๐ฒ๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฐ ๐ณ๐๐ฟ๐ป๐ถ๐๐๐ฟ๐ฒโranging from benches and tables to wall units and spatial installations.
