AESTUS
Product
AESTUS blends material and machine. Inspired by the dynamic relationship between nature and machine, AESTUS is a series of stratified wooden vases designed and manufactured to explore a new synthesis of traditional materials and modern technology. Carved from hundreds of layers of wood by an industrial robot, the vases capture the fluidity of the machine's movements in the depth of the wooden texture.
AESTUS is meant to celebrate the emerging aesthetic potentials of contemporary wood design. The vases are both a story of material exploration as they are of technical prowess. Each piece is formed by the bespoke kinematics of a 7-axis industrial robot, pushing the limits of 3D milling and revealing each vase’s unique grain and stratified look.
The series' distinctive material and iconic shape is meant to blend modern and traditional design qualities. The four vases in the series are between 31 and 110 cm tall. A brushed stainless-steel inset marks the lip of the vase and serves as a durable water repository, which ends at the bottom of the vase as a setback platform. A wax finish serves as a natural protection to the wood.
