Natalia Triantafylli

Natalia Triantafylli and Andrew Scott are London-based designers and investigative makers with a shared fascination for material culture and the history of objects. Natalia engages in a dialogue between physical and digital ways of making by creating hybrid objects that consist of handmade ceramics and their 3D-printed alter egos. Andrew creates furniture using sheets of mild steel, a material which at first seems rigid and cold, but upon manipulation begins to offer up its warm voice and fluid determination.

Their collaborative collection combines ceramic elements with metal structures, continuing their interest in the innate character of particular materials and objects. Their interpretation of attention to detail is based around showing signs of the hand of the maker, allowing one to connect with the pieces more strongly. Objects normally mass-manufactured, like switches, hinges, and bolts, are instead bespoke. Welds, creases, and fingerprints remain within the work, there to be seen by the viewer as silent indicators of their unique nature.
