About the Item

Unique Bench Roots Handmade by Jan Ernst Dimensions: W 45 D 40 H 120 cm Materials: Stoneware Glazed to client specification. Other Dimensions Available, Please Contact Us. The Origin Collection is a collaboration between Jan Ernst and Colin Braye. The work translates the complexity and delicacy of biological and geological structures into domestic furniture items. Each piece was inspired by a different natural structure and deal with the nuances of turning abstract form into functional art items. Made entirely from clay, the range includes a two meter floor lamp - inspired by the delicate nature of sprouts - a side table, bench and desk, the latter which was influenced by geological formations. There is a monolithic quality to it due to its size and visual mass that anchors this collectible design body of work. The work is influenced by his fascination with natural structures such as corals, fungi, and geological formations. The designs have evolved into functional art and sculptural furniture expressed mainly through ceramics and gypsum. Jan Ernst’s work takes on an experimental approach, as he prefers making bespoke pieces by hand. His organic design stems from his abstract understanding of form and space and deep connection with the natural world. Jan Ernst is a multidisciplinary creative based in Cape Town, who specializes in functional art and collectible design. He holds a degree in Architecture and moved to Spain, completing his master’s degree. After 4 years of working in corporatearchitecture, he co-founded Studio AN, a creative platform for architecture and interior design. He aims to create conversation driven by organic forms and awkward negative spaces in the pieces while bringing people together with the narrative quality of the work.
