Commissions

Floris Wubben primarily works in ceramic, but has used other materials with his work, such as wood and glass. The use of resin on ceramic allows him to create very large scale work. The downloadable PDF is to describe these methods, show different finishes, and so as to inspire future works and collaborations. The below gallery of images shows previous examples of commissioned work.

MIAMI

Design Miami/ 2019

For Design Miami 2019, The Future Perfect recreated the gallery’s singular point of view in a booth that emphasized materiality - both natural and quixotic; experimental process; and a sense of the sublime. The booth -  designed with cool neutral walls and natural fiber flooring - set the stage for the gallery’s roster of collectible artists.

Design Miami/ Basel 2019

For Design Miami/ 2019, Wubben has expanded on his Pressed project, a series of furniture scale works made from extruded ceramic. The apex of his display is a 3m long dining table that exemplifies his mastery of process and technical ability. The entire project showcases the artfulness of machine-made works. He will also be expanding on other forms producing new coffee tables, side tables, chairs, a wall shelf, an entry table and so on. All works are made in Amsterdam and are one-of-a-kind by the nature of how they are produced.
