Concept Making industrial materials hybrid has been on in der Elst’s agenda since his studies. The Graywacke Offcut series is a continuation of the designer’s fieldwork carried out at a local sandstone quarry, Lindlar, during his graduation project. Always seeking the irregular in the regular, enormous piles of discarded sandstone offcuts became the sole subject for the designer’s work. Graywacke, the name of the particular sandstone found at Lindlar, is commonly used for the manufacturing of pavement stones, and for building materials in the NRW region of Germany. When producing stones for sidewalks for example, a slab of Graywacke is cut in a grid like shape. All the sides of the slab, know as the “crust”, are discarded as industrial by-product, and thrown to the side, creating large piles of disused stone. Due to this grid cut, the crust-pieces with a natural exterior have dimensionally equal properties, which allows them to be preserved as unique building blocks - and the basis for Carsten in der Elst Greywacke furniture project.
