Elements for Moooi
I have been interested in the perfect form the cactus symbolizes for quite a while. I wanted to exploit its modular quality, building up the piece with different shapes. The priority was that each part, if removed from the whole, would still be appealing but also have a function of it’s own. A functional sculpture that could be as beautiful as the cactus, but that would offer a variety of uses, was the aim
At the beginning, I thought of making a series of stackable stools in different materials. After a while I started wondering, "why should they all be stools?" We began working along with the Moooi team on a new concept where each piece of the stackable sculpture would have a different use: mirror, table, tray, etc. A series of different colors, materials and finishes would then be applied to each vertebrae making the whole richer and more flexible.
