ELEMENT 1 AND 2 -
STUDIES IN MASS OF
THE CHAUD PAPER COMPOSITE
Charlotte Jonckheer
Element 1 and 2, ‘Studies in mass of the CPC’ juxtaposes the stubborn massiveness of a natural stone and the flexibility and lightness of paper.
Element 1 and 2 are results of a comprehensive research into materiality, mass and density, specifically applied to a self-developed stone-like paper composite and its distinctive qualities. Thereby, the two individual designs – a stool and a side table – both represent different findings and possibilities in relation to form, structures and aesthetics. The stool’s delicate beams of its seating surface, the open but massive supporting structure of the side table and the elegancy of its top, … together they encompass the generous applicability and beauty of the material, defined by its endlessly attainable variations in denseness and forms, further emphasized by its unique interaction with light and shadow.
