Frustum

Form&Seek London Design Fair2017

Form&Seek will be part of Dutch Pavilion at London Design Fair on 21-24 September 2017

Form&Seek exhibitions always show a consideration to new crafts, material and processes.

With this upcoming show Form&Seek explores the theme of "Openness" where we focus on what designers with a vision of across borders and cultures, make and design in order to shift attitudes and cultures for the a more inclusive future. Form&Seek explores the idea of Dutch design, not through a national lens but as an attitude and way of thinking.

For the first time ever Form&Seek launches its own collection during London Design Festival as well as a producing and selling platform, enabling consumers and retailers to purchase original and innovative crafted goods from a curated collection founded and run by designers.

The Form&Seek collection focuses on new developed processes and contemporary, globally local craft techniques. Interesting, innovative materials and processes play a key role in the pieces by Form&Seek. Each item tells a story through the way it has been made or the impact it has on our daily lives.

Our new collection expands on a wide range of crafted products from conventional products prototyped with new technologies to products that play with natural formations and uses of material. Each thought provoking, poetic design object has a strong character and personality with the personal mark of the maker.

Frustum (Stool + Bench) are the result of arranging a vocabulary of geometrical components in order to develop an ambiguous and stimulating form language in the domestic environment. The legs of the stool and bench utilize conic frustums, the portion of a cone that lies between one or two parallel planes cutting it, to support conjoined cylinders that act as armrests or a seating area. Although reminiscent of forms commonly found in aerospace and agricultural industries, or urban infrastructural systems as well as many other instances in our daily lives, the forms have been coated in a flat green color, removing any direct associative context. More importantly, this allows one to focus on and delineate form, while also distorting relations between volume, weight, and material among other formal qualities.
