This product was designed around how visceral products from the likes of Claustrum feel to me: the denotations and connotations of the material presented, from the feeling of handling its slick finish to the sounds it makes when colliding with itself.

Overview

Inspiration

The sensory feel of objects from the likes of Claustrum: a slick finish, and the sound the material makes.

Design response

A folded metal sheet with a slotted face that holds a pillar candle, documented from technical drawing to finished renders.

Design language

A study of how a material feels: the slick finish in the hand and the sound it makes against itself, after objects from the likes of Claustrum.

Form

A folded sheet that becomes a stand, with a slotted face that throws patterned light.

Material

Mirror-polished gold metal on terrazzo: reflection against speckle.

Detail

Documented first as a technical drawing (CH001), so the fold lines and slots read as precisely as the renders.
