Description

Durable ABS, available in a chrome finish or matte black paint.

The Twigs bowl emerges as a fragment redefined, an object in flux, transformed from twigs to polished, sublime artifact. Through a branching sequence of digitization, algorithmic manipulation, and re-materialization, this work transcends its biological origin. The chrome-like finish evokes an unnatural allure, erasing traces of the twigs’ organic past and situating it in a new, synthetic reality.

Reflecting both the allure and emptiness of mass-produced bootleg artifacts, this work gestures toward a culture where the boundaries between original and imitation dissolve, and creation becomes a shared act, blending human and machine agency. Here, “branching” is both process and rupture, tracing a journey from raw material to commodified object and destabilizing notions of utility, beauty, and value. As a primitive form re-envisioned through industrial processes, the “Twigs bowl” embodies a paradox: a relic of nature rendered hyperreal, part of a lineage shaped by technology’s ambiguous authorship and inviting us to reconsider what makes an object truly real. features a coating of premium paint and is finalized with high-gloss varnish.

About Gast Studio Visit Showroom →

Within the world of pottery, the evolution from traditional craftsmanship to digital creation signifies a profound departure in technique and the conceptual foundation of the craft itself. Designer Jean-Baptiste Castel plays with the tension between craft and automation through the construction of a series of vases built using the material qualities of CGI. Castel's vases offer a physical embodiment of CGI, inviting the viewer to contemplate the intersection of craftsmanship and the transformative influence of the digital era. More than serving as decorative objects, these vases provoke reflection on the evolving nature of art and technology. Through his exploration, Jean-Baptiste pushes the boundaries of pottery making, ushering in a new stage in his design practice, where the lines between the physical and virtual worlds are beautifully blurred.
