Both the shape and materialisation of the Spire lamp are inspired by the iconic New York Chrysler building. The design of the building’s spire, defined by stepped arches, was reduced to its essence and translated into a distinct, minimal volume.
The texture of the material is accentuated by the soft glow of indirect lighting. The panels are interconnected via hinges and can be positioned at an angle to each other, influencing the illumination of the slats. The resulting lighting effect creates a playful interaction with its surroundings.
In the realm of illumination, the Concrete Fusion Lamp stands tall, a testament to the harmonious marriage between industrial pragmatism and artistic expression. Crafted from the raw essence of concrete, its surface tells a tale of rugged elegance, uniquely textured.
Henge takes inspiration from the ancient circular stone structures, of which the iconic ‘Stonehenge’ is the most famous one.The Henge bench translates these cues into a curved seat supported by 3 columns, placed at irregular angles. This imperfection and the weathered black gradient finish allude to the impermanence of matter over time.
Due to the modular design, 6 benches can take the shape of a circle or, when placed in a ribbon shape, they can form any desired composition.

Irregular shapes and element placement form the base of the Reflektor rack. The shelves of the object are characterized by the placement of mirrors at varying angles. The mirrors reflect the objects that are on display on the rack. The piece plays with the optical illusion of real objects and reflections or ‘virtual’ depictions of the objects. As the spectator walks around the tower, reflections appear and disappear, making the viewer question what is real and what is not. At some of the levels, this effect is further enhanced by the usage of two mirrors, resulting in multiple reflections. The subdued colour palette of the mirrors and the aluminium allow full attention to the objects placed on the rack.

The shapes of the Disrupt tables are inspired by the jagged edges formed by earth cracks. By means of irregular patterns, the object looks natural, as if it wasn’t created through an industrial process. This conceptual idea has been carried through in the form of the legs, which look as if they were torn apart after they once formed one whole.
The tables come in two versions, a low wide variant and a tall narrow version.

The Spline side tables are composed of a thin, elegant tabletop, counterbalanced by three chunky legs. Their off-round shape is organic, yet defined. The tables are made of aluminium, the unique properties of this material - strong, yet lightweight - are utilized to their full potential.
The tables come in two shape variants, a high and low variant. The two variants can be used separately or, when combined, they form a balanced composition.
Spline side tables are available at www.metapoly.fr
The disrupt shelves are machined from aluminium sheets.The jagged edges suggest a natural origin, which juxtaposes with the industrial nature of the material.
The aluminium is finished with a matt sanded texture.

The Cobble coat rack draws inspiration from the shape of cobble stones. Both shape and color are derived from this inspiration source. In the studio’s typical approach of exposing traces of material manufacturing, the ‘defects’ in the hot rolled steel serve as surrogates for the cobble stones natural texture. The piece is highly functional, yet when not in use, it enhances any space as sculptural element on the wall.
Cobble is available at www.metapoly.fr in both steel and aluminium

The mold for the foam bench was made using styrofoam plates. The texture of the styrofoam is transferred onto the surface of the concrete base elements, resulting in a uniquely textured and tactile surface. The concrete itself is a white concrete with color pigments added into the mix. The seating element of the bench consists of extruded aluminium tubes. The smooth and machined shape of the aluminium tubes contrast with the organic, rough concrete elements.

Base: casted white concrete with pigments, tubes: aluminium

Interesting patterns are all around us, the slow drops lamp is a free-standing lamp inspired by the glowing lines formed by falling raindrops when illuminated at night. It is an embodiment of noticing the unnoticed. The rain drops are represented by the vertically placed tube lights, seemingly random scattered around a central aluminium column. The object aims to merge precision production processes with an element of randomness.

The monolith table consists of casted and pigmented concrete table legs. The table top consists of a MDF plate coated with a textured paint. The table top appears thin in comparison with the heavy base elements. Despite the monolithic and heavy concrete base elements, the table has an elegant appearance due to the use of rounded shapes and soft natural colors.
