Berlin Untitled No. 1 is a sculpture in leather, brass and oak by VAUST Studio that tells the story of a time in Berlin well spent. It draws on the rich history of 18th-century architecture and the cultural weight of buildings such as the former, now rebuilt, Berliner Stadtschloss.
The piece captures a well-situated, educated side of the city that sits apart from Berlin’s rough attitude and plays out in theaters, the Philharmonie and old-fashioned restaurants. The studio describes it as an homage to a reality experienced as guests inside its own city, and as something of a guilty pleasure.
Like every piece in the series, it reflects VAUST Studio’s own perception of Berlin, the city at the core of the studio’s inspiration. The aim is to capture everything between an emotion and a visual aesthetic, with a result as changeable as the city itself, in a silhouette the studio considers highly contemporary.
The object is meant to express the studio’s personality, its desire for aesthetics and its need for joy, and to bring strongly different materials into dialog within a single form.
Each “Toy” has a modular construction, so its owner can change the outer appearance in the way that feels most harmonious while keeping the idea of the object intact, creating an interaction between the studio and the collector.
