“Objects have the power to make us feel better or worse, to make our life more complicated or more fulfilled. We design objects that surprise via their essential quality and which reveal a precise thought beyond their simplicity.”
Studiocharlie | Fragment of a Spiral
The rattan cane is removed from its normal contexts and manipulated into a mechanical structure. The resulting spiral’s tension is fixed with nylon rope and installed in a montre, generating an intriguing appearance that keeps the spectator waiting for a potential performance.
Fragment of a Spiral is produced in collaboration with Bonacina 1889.
“It’s a firm, sturdy object that intrigues the eye. You can feel the potential energy emanating from it.”
