In collaboration with CMK Architects and Jil Sander, we curated an exclusive color palette for our Mother of Pearl solid surface collection. This handcrafted, recycled polycarbonate material is executed in earth tone that complements the organic warmth and texture of travertine stone. Juxtaposing this, a selection of bold, vibrant hues of the same recycled plastic material offer a striking contrast to the refined, contemporary character of the space and highlights plastic as a feature of the store.

As shopping shifts between digital and physical, the store is no longer just a point of sale, it is a place of experience, identity, and material storytelling. For brands it’s a chance to make architecture tactile again through spaces that reflect values, not just product lines. We helped OMA and Bershka to tell this story with a unique boldly coloured Mother of Pearl for their retail interior. This circular architectural solution offers the possibility to merge Italian fashion commerce with culture and to make recycled plastic part of a more thoughtful future.

With the Earth changing around us faster than ever, plastic waste is the very frontrunner of problematic materials. By transforming this highly industrialised material into abstract formations that radiate a sense of primal beauty, we strive to transmute our connectedness with nature from which we have become so estranged. With their super-natural look, the mineraloid formations allow the viewer to question and re-examine our relationship with the ever present natural world which has been irreversibly altered by humankind.

Formations.
meant to evoke a sense of primal beauty
shape and form are meticulously combined
transmuting any previous expressions of either matter
infinite possibilities of Formations unravel
their presence diffusing the boundaries of natural and unnatural
born from a world that once went to waste
