Bench by Objects of Common Interest
About the Item
The collection is named after a tiny village perched high on the wind-swept mountains of the Greek island of Tinos. Large, almost perfectly round grey rocks dot the plateau and slopes around the village, creating a stunning landscape that remains an unexplained geological phenomenon. The Volax collection is inspired by the irregular and bold volumes of these mysterious granite rocks, conveying through each unique object the aura and presence of the Cycladic landscape.
For the first time in Objects of Common Interest’s material language, the collection uses wood to introduce a highly tactile and sensual experience that transports the mesmerizing forms of Volax rocks into a domestic environment. Solid wood elements are carved into imperfect, rounded formations, often combined with rigid glowing acrylic volumes that emerge from within them or from the room elements in which they are placed.
The result is an engaging collection of centrepieces in the form of lighting and seating elements at various scales, whose perception changes as one moves around them. The Volax collection is a continuation of the studio’s ongoing interest in abstraction and exploration of forms and materials.
Installed across Carwan Gallery’s entire space like a sculptural garden, the exhibition Volax invites visitors to feel and explore each of the newly created objects from different angles, creating an almost immersive experience that plays with the perception of volume, material, transparency, weight and texture.
