This artwork is a striking example of contemporary sculpture, creatively merging minimalist and brutalist aesthetics. Crafted from robust stone, it stands as a testament to raw, unrefined beauty. The piece features an angular design with a pronounced geometric form, lending it a sense of stability and permanence. Its asymmetrical structure is balanced by a carefully considered composition, showcasing the artist's mastery in manipulating solid materials. The chair-like appearance challenges conventional notions of functionality, blurring the line between art and design. The rough-hewn texture of the surface echoes the natural origins of the material, while the meticulous craftsmanship reveals an underlying sophistication. Each facet and edge appears intentionally placed, contributing to the overall harmony of the structure. This sculpture captivates with its bold presence and enigmatic simplicity, inviting viewers to explore its form and contemplate its purpose. It stands not merely as an object to observe but as an interactive piece, prompting reflection on the interplay between art, nature, and human ingenuity.

The essence materials is constantly sought in the work of the German designer Carsten In Der Elst (b. 1992 Düsseldorf). Based in Cologne, Germany, he finished his studies in 2020 and immediately started his solo practice by continuining the approach of his graduation project Heavy Duty. One of its essence by preserving the visibility of production processes in the final piece. In this context, the gesture of material is the language of his creation. Over the past four years, his commintment in making furniture objects has manifested itself through physical labor, an experiemental and explorative attitude as well as an obsessive attention on documenting his investigations. His work can be seen as an appreciation for our materials and processes. Through close contact with the objects origin and process, he aims to create pieces with an inherent narrative.
