a tea table: “found” slab. (in progress, salvaged and formed sheet steel, 2024).

this piece and the process behind it are paramount to my approach to this series moving forward.

having started this piece a while ago, and having sat with it as an object now for some time, i have developed a newfound understanding of the draw that i felt, subconsciously at first, to this piece in particular.

how does one design an object in a fashion which allows it to feel natural, perhaps to appear as something found on the side of the road, deep in the forest, an object outside of time and style?

as an artist and designer, material consumption and the imprint humankind leaves on objects has long been of interest to me. formfinding, through many digital or analog means, generally follows a course of preconceived intention. and these processes of making create vast amounts of waste which tend to fall under a societally accepted byproduct of creation, scrap.

humankind has long acted as if material were limitless, we’ve leveled that which stood before to begin again within our projection of what’s right, what’s in style, what deserves to be instead of what was - and all at the cost of the world as we’ve known it. and we’ve created tremendous amounts of “waste” in the process.

using salvaged, often overlooked materials has long been a fundamental part of my process. i love the way they tell you what they want to become. and to design something which appears just as it does, as a naturally occurring object - a tree stump, a slab of stone, has been a wonderful exploration, one i plan to continue with even greater rigor and depth.

much more from this fledging series and other work coming soon. :) by @studio.studio
