META HARDWARE | MARLIN
Our Marlin Hardware come with a full circle story about our Studio’s process:
We were ask by a client to make a small kitchen table (the Lucent Cafe Table) for a project and challenged to create corresponding Pendant Lights.
Because our Resin MetaMATERIAL cannot be formed into a hollow sphere, we had to find a new material and create a new process to create the pieces. We had experimented with Rubber in the past, but never settled on an application. Its malleable quality, clarity and UV resistant properties made it the perfect material for this project. We then created rubber lighting using the pattern inspiration from our Resin Table.
A few years later, as we were developing our Hardware Collection, a different client asked us to make a pattern and colorway based on our Meta Pendant Lights.
Marlin was born of this request and our Marlin material is composed of cut-off pieces of resin material from that original Lucent Table!
All of our work builds off what came before, whether that’s pattern references or physical material that we reuse.
We can’t wait to see what challenges await us!
