“You could almost call it the culture of sparsity, a culture of the frail, of the ineffable, the elusive.” Ettore Sottsass and Christopher Redfern describe the three collections for Artigo by highlighting their simple approach and each product’s capacity to invoke suggestions and associations of ideas in a conception of architecture as a “physical and sensory experience”. Each of the three proposals is based on the idea of an industrial artefact that takes possession of a natural process and random feature: Kayar coconut fibre, Zero.4’s apparently random distribution pattern, and Ebony’s conceptual abstraction. The three surfaces’ typical common element is always a “small random event” produced by interventions on matter and form.
