MELT EDITION
by NENDO
Melt is a collaboration with Japanese design studio, nendo, inspired by the flexibility of molten glass and the force of gravity. The creation of Melt was a unique and complex production. After watching the craftsmen working in WonderGlass’s workshops, Oki Sato from nendo intended to let the material guide the design process. As a result, a method of laying hot glass sheets over steel shapes and suspending them between steel bars was developed, allowing the material’s natural drape to reveal its form.
Melt Edition includes Melt Armchair, Melt Bench, Melt Stool, Melt Chair, Melt Chaise Longue, Melt Dining Table, Melt Partition and Melt Coffee Table.
Limited edition of 8 units + 2 Prototypes + 2 Artist Proof.
