Chronologies - The Evolution of Slabs - unveils the journey behind Æquo’s latest collection, a collaboration between designer Linde Freya Tangelder and master craftsman Jeevaram Suthar. This exhibition demystifies the creative process, tracing each stage from raw material to finished piece, culminating in the remarkable works now showcased in the gallery. Tangelder, known for her disciplined design philosophy and expressive use of materials, partnered with Suthar and his team to reinterpret repoussé—a technique that involves hammering thin metal sheets over intricately carved wooden or wax patterns to create textured surfaces. Renowned for embedding subtle yet impactful narratives into functional design, Tangelder brings an unwavering focus on material authenticity. Her approach balances minimalism and sculptural depth. Tangelder’s work is characterized by her skill in embedding subtle yet profound narratives into functional design. With an acute focus on detail and an unwavering commitment to material authenticity, her philosophy harmonizes minimalism with a sculptural sensibility that embodies both strength and grace. This collection underscores her pursuit of exploration, bridging materials and forms in ways that challenge conventional boundaries while retaining an inherent elegance. Sheets of German silver and brass are hammered around hand-carved wooden cores, with exposed brass soldering accentuating the integrity of craftsmanship. Concealed wooden molds provide structural support beneath the polished metallic surfaces, creating a dialogue between warmth and coolness. The resulting pieces offer a tactile interplay of form and material, where heritage techniques intersect with a forward-thinking design ethos. Tangelder’s collection transcends the idea of furniture as mere utility, transforming each piece into a statement of form, texture, and craftsmanship that resonates with the gallery’s commitment to contemporary design. Chronologies - invites viewers to discover the synergy of tradition and innovation where craft, material, and vision intertwine.
