FF Mirror 1

About the Item

Loosely inspired by sedimentary stone, a cast form seems to extend out from the wall only to be cleanly sliced and reveal a mirrored surface. Fully sculptural and fully functional. About the Future Fossils Collection Future Fossils is a collection of new works by Simon Johns, using mimicry in materials, loosely referencing the sedimentary striations in million years old stone. This collection explores positives and negatives of both extrusions and voids, in both gypsum cement and slip-cast stoneware. The traces of natural looking elements are preserved into mold-like volumes, structured into aluminum grids and more free-form geometries. The pieces are really furniture, but also seem like documents, celebrating the traces of something lost. The Future Fossils collection won Best Furniture Collection when it was launched at ICFF in NYC in 2022.

Shale Mirror in Grey by Simon Johns
By Simon Johns
Located in East-Bolton, Quebec
Bringing the serenity of the outdoors into the home, the Shale mirror has a distinct texture carved across the frames surface that seems to reach beyond it's limits. The solid ash surface is scored vertically across the grain, and the drawing of Simon Johns’ textures of a crumbling cliff's facade is delicately carved into it. Patterns within the carving and the wood's grain create optical illusions depending on the lights orientation, making it as striking from afar as from up close. Due to the hand-carved facade...

FF Grid Shelving 1
By Simon Johns
Located in East-Bolton, Quebec
A slender tower-like sculptural bookcase, made from a rigid hand polished aluminum structure.
