Future Fossils Low Table in Stoneware and Aluminum by Simon Johns

About the Item

The most expressive of the Future Fossils collection, the low table features slip-cast volumes of stoneware, each loosely mimicking the textures of sedimentary stone. Of varying shapes and sizes, they are organized around a polished aluminum volume that reflects the light from the room. An aluminum top and bottom contain these forms within a perimeter dictated by the ceramic shapes. About the Future Fossils Collection: The Future Fossils Collection was launched in May of 2022 and won Best Furniture at ICFF 2022. 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.

MDF Italia Cement Fossil Low Table Indoor / Outdoor by Xavier Lust
By MDF Italia
Located in New York, NY
The Belgian designer and sculptor Xavier Lust signs Fossil for MDF Italia, an eclectic furnishing accessory that can be used as a low table. A highly versatile design for a family of elements, revisited with more rounded, fluid lines. Built in lightweight concrete, it is suitable for use both indoors and outside, sporting a delicate, neutral finish echoing the nuances of an organic, natural universe. Cement UHPFRC (ultra-high performance fibre-reinforced cement) with cutting-edge technical/structural properties. A fundamental characteristic of the components is mass colouration. The finish and colour of the table bases is the result of a skilled mixture of sand and natural elements. Together with the slow maturation and drying given to each piece, this allows countless subtle shades to be obtained. The combination of this particular material and the maturation process, which is affected by weather changes, may result in visual irregularities in the design and in the colour. The subtle shades and the lack of uniformity in surface and colour are to be considered unique properties enhancing the value of the piece. The Belgian designer and sculptor is again joining forces with the brand, in an eclectic furnishing accessory that can be used as a low table. A highly versatile design for a family of elements, revisited with more rounded, fluid lines. Fossil is a sinuous element in three different sizes and heights. Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Its curved lines are in stark contrast with the white cement finish it is made of. Dimension • Fossil S...
