REND

Video and Images by Form und Rausch | Text by Sean Santiago

Creative Direction by Tariq Dixon

REND proposes a new vantage point on duality by engaging the diverse approaches of four designers whose works share a common material language: metal and stone. Through newly-commissioned and limited-edition pieces, the exhibition interrogates common contrasts — hard and soft, rigid and flexible, warm and cold. The works find middle ground in the raw edges of Disciplina Studio’s marble tables, and the plush upholstery of TRNK Collection’s steel-based seating. Works by Sisan Lee and FICT Studio directly engage the weight and rigidity of their chosen mediums, presenting furniture that appears ineffably light yet layered. By considering these works as a whole, rather than disparately, qualities that once seemed intrinsic become a matter of context.

ABOUT SISAN LEE

Seoul-based designer Sisan Lee majored in Interior Design at Konkuk University Global Campus in Chungju, where he became intrigued by different forms and textures of stones. For his first complete body of work titled ‘Proportions of Stone,’ Lee pairs natural stones scavenged from nearby mountains with manufactured stainless steel, creating harmony between these seemingly incongruous elements.

PRESS

Conceptually, ‘Rend’ explores the universal pairing of metal and stone through each designer’s eyes. Whether its Sisan Lee’s architectural furniture that pairs roughly hewn stone with untreated stainless steel, or Fict Studio’s combination of opaque marble and planes of translucent resin, each of the pieces exhibited is a study in contrasts, be it hard and soft, rigid and flexible, and blurs the line between design and art in the best ways possible.
