The series of Rubber Tables explores the flexibility of the rubber paired with strong joints. The cylinders become structural to welcome the rubber tablecloth.

Gast Studio, led by Jean-Baptiste Castel, explores the tension between pottery and digital creation. Using the visual language of CGI as a material reference, his vases translate virtual form into physical objects, questioning how craft evolves alongside automation.

In addition to their predominantly on-screen design practice, Gast Studio now brings a fresh perspective to pottery, by blending traditional craftsmanship with digital innovation. Their unique series of vases is the result of a playful and ongoing exploration of CGI's material qualities, combined with the dynamic tension between manual and automated crafts. These vases are more than just decorative objects; they invite us to reflect on the ever-evolving connection between art and technology, where the lines between the physical and virtual realms of our times are beautifully blurred.

This bag is made from reused tire rubber sourced from airplanes, tractors, and cars, so the exact composition of the materials cannot be guaranteed. Each bag is carefully cleaned and finished with a special treatment; however, there may be slight variations in texture and, occasionally, in very humid or hot climates, it could leave temporary marks during use. A simple wash will completely remove any residue.

KUNSTKAMMERAI

Chainmail chair is a new take on William Katavolos 1952’s T-chair. Its seat is made up of hand-linked metal rings coming together to form a strong and flexible mesh that drapes down its T structure. For Chainmail chair we sought to create a design that supported the idea of a body that is open to different forms of expression; to pain, to pleasure, to pleasure in pain, a body concentrated on its primal instincts. Chainmail chair ultimately seeks to express and question our wish for constraint. 
Chainmail is a fascinating material. It consists of series of hand linked rings coming together to form a strong and flexible mesh that drapes like a textile. Simple in concept but extremely versatile and charged with meaning. The result of an old craft that somehow looks industrial and modern.

The Cut Divider showcases sharp silhouettes that effortlessly carve out a space of intrigue and allure. With a tongue-in-cheek nod to the lines cut, this divider is set to redefine boundaries and create an environment that’s chic, and delightfully unconventional.
