-
05-03-2020 t/m 09-03-2020
- In collaboration with: Collectible Design
- Location: Espace Vanderborght, Brussels
- TFP's latest collection explores a desire to imitate nature by presenting a series of small dual displays. Sculpted from anthracite and subsequently casted in aluminum, each twin “shelve” is unique and can be used to display any precious or peculiar object. Unlike the widely applied marbles, travertine and onyxes, this material has a specific “aura” which is comparable to the Chinese scholar's rock (gongshi). It is a stone shaped by natural forces, appreciated for its particular appearance.
