Sculpted Side Table 'Human Element II' Collin Velkoff
Located in Geneve, CH
Human Element, Excavation II, 2017
Granite and gypsum cement
Measures: 80 x 32 x 48 cm
Edition - Unique work
‘Human Element’ is a project that explores the influence material has on the human condition and how our consciousness is derived from our relationship with materials. By using cement and anchoring forms to stone, he wants to create a sense of familiarity and comfort. Through the manipulation of form, balance, and texture, Collin Townsend Velkoff wants his sculptures to convey a feeling of unease and tension which communicates our relationship with materials and our dependency on the environment. For these sculptures, he has developed a sand casting technique that allows him to cast unique cement forms onto organic stone forms buried beneath the sand. After the cement cures the two materials are locked together and the object is then dug out by hand. Stones are selected from nature and construction sites, these stones dictate the shape, color, and forms on the cement pieces that will cast onto the stones.
Each piece is unique.

Dichroic Glass Side Table, Rona Koblenz
Located in Geneve, CH
Dichroic side table - Rona Koblenz
Measures: 49 x 50 x 30 cm
"A spectrum (plural spectra or spectrums) is a condition that is not limited to a specific set of values but can vary infinitely within a continuum".
- Rona Meyuchas-Koblenz is inspired by reflection and refraction, absorbent and repellent. The studio’s continuous interest to create a timeless dialogue from past to future through presently active living, has been expressed in its current work, ‘Spectra’, using Dichroic finished glass as a dominant material.
The environment we live in is affected by a spectrum of different conditions. Kukka chose to use Dichroic glass to help express the significant conditions affected by light and time, reflection and refraction. Similar to the social behavior expressed through social media channels and the internet: absorbing and repelling, yet the glass, a modern material used since the Roman empire, has its own structural, solid properties.
The quartz is an abundant mineral in earth. The slabs are solid, reflecting physical, stable and timeless design.
"I am particularly interested to create timeless design by using simple geometry and basic materials . The dialogue between the two is expressed in Spectra"
- Rona Meyuchas-Koblenz
Rona Meyuchas-Koblenz
Born in Tel-Aviv, Rona is an internationally acclaimed product designer, art director and researcher. She graduated in 1999 with a Master degree from the Scuola politecnica di design in Milan and started her career by working in different design consultancies in Milan and London.
Rona's experience in design and manufacturing then motivated her to create products under her own label, and her first collection was released in Milan during Salone del Mobile 2007 at Spazio Romeo Gigli. The following year she was approached by the British embassy in Milan to exhibit selected products at The Galleria d’Arte moderna in Milan, an exhibition curated by Sir Paul Smith and Moroso.
The minimalist democratic approach and an honest design are most recognized with Rona’s style and work. In 2010, she created the brand kukka, which works for architects, interior designers, private clients and retailers such as Conran, Paul Smith, La Rinascente, Selfridges, or De Padova.
The studio, underpinned by creative stimulation, specializes in experimenting with materials, manufacturing methods and technology.
Rona is also a visiting lecturer (V&A, LFA, Design Museum talks, ICFF, Shenkar College, Plymouth university) a writer (BVD Magazine) , tutor (Domain Boisbuchet, Shenkar College) and the founder of Designers in the Middle.

Roxane Lahidji
Roxane Lahidji is an alchemist as much as a designer. She seeks a reconnection to fundamental materials in objects of our daily lives by developing her own transforming and moulding methods. In terms of design, her intuitive methodology associates concepts with material symbolics and consumption or usage habits, which defines a dwelling function and a final shaping.
Fascinated by precious surfaces and their story telling, she works in a constant research for meaning in patterns, textures and shades; focusing on liquid and powdered substances she melts, mixes, fusions into solid objects.
With the deep concern of reconciliating production and sustainability, her design focuses on disregarded or cheap materials brought to a new life, while twisting low tech methods and traditional crafts techniques.
Roxane Lahidji was born in Paris in 1992 and grew up in the French capitale before studying illustration and product design in Strasbourg (HEAR). After her Bachelor (with distinction), she pursued her research for new design values...

Mother of Pearl Side Table by Marten and Joost

Mother of pearl side table by Marten and Joost
Sustainable design: Plastic waste into timeless design...?
- Measures: L 40, W 40, H 43.5cm
- Recycled polycarbonate
- Limited edition of 10
- Signed and numbered
- Design: Marten van Middelkoop and Joost Dingemans
Plasticiet
Plasticiet originated from an idea that was formed during a field trip in India where we saw various micro-economies popping up based on local demographic waste streams such as cotton clothes, plastic bottles and metal parts. All in their own unique way the craftsmen there were able to find their own unique translation of these waste materials into something functional and recognizable with added value. They then made these products available for other local industries resulting in personal revenue and providing means of production for other craftsmen, keeping both industries thriving on a small scale.
When we were trying to find solutions for people’s and industry’s disposed of plastics, looking back at the idea we studied in India we knew that the outcome should not be a final product. Inspired by the primal beauty and longevity of natural stone we then aspired to create a sheet material that would inspire other creators to build objects that can last. To make a waste material appealable we underwent a thorough research on how to give these plastic products a distinct super-natural marbled or terrazzo appearance, for if the material isn’t beautiful it won’t sustain.
For the past two years we have underwent some challengers working with recycled plastic. Each plastic has a different viscosity even when it’s of the same type. Besides that we often work with plastic that contain some sort of contamination. Hence we always need to test our material intensively before we are able to resell it as a sheet material. This hands-on approach allows for quite a bit of experimentation which gives way for us to broaden our knowledge. Manifesting this collection was about stretching the boundaries of our know-how, creating a craft with a highly industrialized material yet at the same time we wanted to show that plastic waste used as a raw material is able to stand out next to other high-end materials. Given that Plasticiet’s key inspiration always comes from natural stone and rock formations it was only logical to find inspiration in the Neolithicum - the last part of the Stone Age - where our predecessors used more primitive means to come about. The collection currently holds three pieces; a cabinet, stool and chair. Three basic yet essential pieces of furniture that everyone recognizes instantly.
To create the marbled or pearlescent design we first melt the material, and then start kneading and mixing it when it’s still warm. The technique we use is very similar to taffy making for sugary candy canes. During this process the material is stretched and folded numerous times, aerating it. The tiny stretched air bubbles captured within the translucent plastic reflect light resulting in an iridescent glow resembling mother of pearl.
Every part of the mother of pearl collection is individually moulded and when all the parts are completed they’re joined together. We can create much larger pieces than what the collection currently shows by playing with the composition and holding in mind that polycarbonate is an extremely tough material. Currently the largest single block we’ve made was around 15 kilograms, which is twice the size of the chair’s seat. At that weight it’s quite a tough job stretching and folding the material but we’re planning to go bigger still! Four hands are better than two, so 30kg should definitely be achievable.
To source the material we partnered up with several Dutch companies such as LC Plastics, Suez and PRC. We often drive by to visit their shredding facilities to see what’s in stock. Other times we receive a call when a batch of plastic arrived that’s contaminated with leaves, water or a wrong plastic type mixed within; the regular plastic industry can often not deal with this because it will damage their machinery. Normally batches like this end up...
