Inspired by memories of the staggered horizon of the Blue Ridge Mountains and of principles within Chinese landscape painting, Fragments simultaneously evokes the deep layers of unearthed stone, the expanse of the ongoing horizon, and the ultimate intangibility of our earthly existence. The collection was born out of a collaboration with The Future Perfect, a design gallery in New York and San Francisco. First revealed at Design Miami in 2015, Fragments was designed initially as a hand-painted custom wall mural. The earthy and ethereal tones were created using hand-made pigments derived from Belgian Bluestone used in signature design pieces created by Dutch designer Lex Pott’s distinctive collection of various stone tables. Carefully melding the crushed stone’s inherent colors into paints, we created a layered pattern that gradually fades from the profound grays of the earth to the elusive blues of the atmosphere. By further exploring the subtlety of color within crushed minerals, the studio expanded the number of styles and has released a printed version of the collection.
