Set No.6 reconsiders the roles materials play in the domestic environment, placing hard and soft in new arrangements and orientations. As users, materials provide cues for our interactions; softly rounded forms imply suppleness and give, while stone and glass present a stability and weight. SET NO 6 sets out to reframe typical notions of where hard and soft go, how they behave, and how they come into contact.

materials:  CNC routed high-density polystyrene, matte car paint finish, polyurethane resin coating, 24mm blue-green tinted transparent glass

Presented for Salone del Mobile, Salone Satellite, 2019
