Temporal Collection, Limited Edition, Marble and Steel Shelve 'Exercise 1'
About the Item
"Exercise 1" shelf is part of the collection 'Temporal', commissioned by the Machado Muñoz Gallery in 2016. Where as the other pieces in this collection aim to go beyond their physicality and are loaded with meaning, these two pieces represent the opposite exercise; They are objects before becoming objects, embryos of a process still to be defined but already capable of performing their function. using what are usually considered temporal unions to create this function, and with the minimum intervention over the material, Muñoz Muñoz defines two objects that search for a high qualitative level using the minimum quantitative action to create structure.
The resulting shelf is a stunning piece that mixes raw, industrial materials, takes them out of context and results in a refined and functional piece.
The 'Temporal' collection is based on the concept that starts with the following facts retrieved from United Nations open data about production and consumption in Spain: Average kilos of asphalt produced by second; the amount of copper tube that we consume; the water volume used by person every day in Spain; and the amount of metres of cable stolen per hour. This data is transformed into objects for this collection, TEMPORAL, where Lucas Muñoz Muñoz translates that information into volume and quantity of material, creating a series of furniture in which the form is defined by these material/ time equivalents. Decontextualizing this information from graphics and abstract numbers in newspapers and locating it in a human space, he materializes, in the living room, the footprint of our presence as citizens and consumers in the world.
From an observationist point of view, Muñoz proposes design as a Trojan horse to infiltrate information in the domestic realm. This collection is the result of a deconstructive design dynamic in which concept and context are driving forces for exploration and for the definition of our domestic objects' morphology.

Lucas Muñoz Muñoz
Lucas Muñoz Muñoz (1983) works in the field of art and design. Through craft and travel, his work is mainly based between the Netherlands and Spain. However, has recently settled back in Madrid, where his studio & atelier resides now. His practice explores redefinitions of the functionality and materiality of use-objects, spaces and engineering. Working out with his hands a field that intertwines the need for use of our daily-life artifacts with the capacity they have to carry and embody meaning from a creative and critical approach. Lucas Muñoz Muñoz has been making and producing since his early twenties. He founded eStudio enPieza! in Madrid, with David Tamame and his work, with them travelled the world and became part of private and public design collections (as London´s Royal Science Museum permanent funds). Since then until now, in his current location, Tetuan (Madrid, Spain), the designer and artist has passed through Carabanchel (2008-12) and Eindhoven (2012-22), developing a body of work that occupies a wide spectrum that ranges from furniture to skateboards or Sound Systems. In all of them, Lucas has always maintained a balance between the conceptual and the material, being a designer who thinks with his hands and seeks a distillation of the concept of each action that his creative process requires. This has made him develop a career closely linked to sustainability and material circularity, having been the winner of the Dezeen, FRAME and ICON Awards.
