Discover the Art of Resin Design
Resin design brings together the beauty of preservation and the power of innovation. From ancient amber to modern creations, resin has long been admired for its ability to encapsulate moments in time. Today, designers are harnessing the potential of both natural and synthetic resins to create visually striking, sustainable pieces that bridge the past and the future.
Resin in the Hands of Modern Designers
Contemporary designers like Togigi, Leo Maher, and Studio Bovti are reshaping our understanding of resin. Their innovative use of resin incorporates natural elements, such as the Xanthoria Calcicola lichen, and industrial waste, merging the natural with the synthetic in groundbreaking ways. Luis Gimeno Design’s Candy Tables exemplifies the vibrant beauty resin can achieve. With its bold, fluid forms and emphasis on natural curves, the table creates a dynamic visual impact. As it interacts with light, it casts intricate shadows that transform the room’s ambiance, making it a striking centerpiece. These sculptural tables harmonize with diverse interiors, turning simple spaces into bold statements.
Preserving Memory and Nature with Resin
Resin is not just about preservation; it’s about capturing memories and moments. Artists like Courtney Kinnare, with her Siren Mirror, and Platalea Studio, through the Rainbow Bench, use resin to preserve cultural histories and ideals that shape our present and future. These designers are not merely working with materials; they are preserving the essence of humanity’s stories and aspirations in tangible form.
Resin's Dual Nature in Contemporary Craft
Resin’s ability to capture the ephemeral is at the heart of today’s design evolution. Whether it’s the mythological narratives embedded in Ultramar Studio’s Sentry Light Sculpture or the responsive design of BDCI’s Lullaby lighting system, resin offers a medium for artists to explore cycles of nature, human innovation, and environmental consciousness. Resin’s dual nature as both a preservation tool and a transformative medium allows designers to create works that connect the past with an ever-changing future.
