Material Matters: Archipanic Highlights Wedge’s Algorithmic Sculptures

During the 2025 London Design Festival, Wedge was featured by Archipanic as part of the prestigious Material Matters fair at Space House. This feature explores how our studio is expanding the physical limits of design by blending computation with experimental material research.

The highlight of our showcase was the Epoch 2 collection. As Archipanic observed, our use of algorithmic modelling and 3D scanning allows us to create work that is both futuristic and deeply tactile. By printing in sand and metal, we are able to bypass traditional manufacturing constraints, creating sculptural furniture that feels excavated from a digital landscape.

For a young studio like Wedge, being selected for Material Matters among global industry leaders is a significant milestone. It validates our "Activating Dimensionality" manifesto and proves that our circular, data-driven approach is resonating with the mainstream professional design community.

Visitors to the exhibition saw firsthand how we turn neglected, mundane materials like sand into highly specialized, one-of-a-kind objects. This recognition by Archipanic further establishes Wedge as a badass new voice in the global design discourse, ready to take on the architectural challenges of tomorrow.
