True colors panels & vases
-Expo Next Up
By treating the copper with a variation of chemicals, Lex Pott has designed a series of vases with different discolorations. To depict this process, he manufactured a series of panels.
Transience mirror
-Expo Next Up
The silver layer on the back of mirrors are deliberately oxidized. This artificial aging process is added into a decorative pattern. The reflection does not only show the transience of everyone who looks at it, but also of the mirror itself.
Reconfiguration of a tree
-Expo Next Up
The rise of synthetic resin has caused traditional wood resin to fall into abeyance. Thomas Vailly has literally dissected the Pinus Pinaster – a tree with a characteristic black resin – in wood and black resin. In collaboration with other designers, a contemporary product collection has been established from these resources.
