ColourHive Insights: The Tactile Revolution of the Epoch Collection

We are pleased to be featured by ColourHive, a global leader in colour and material forecasting. Their insights into the Epoch I & II collections highlight a critical shift in contemporary design: the move toward materials that offer both high-tech performance and a deeply grounded, tactile soul.

ColourHive’s analysis focuses on our use of 3D-printed silica sand as a medium for "Digital Tectonics." By utilizing binder jetting, we are able to achieve a stone-like weight and texture that contradicts the traditionally plastic feel of 3D-printed objects. The feature explores how our process—incorporating data from human movement and geological erosion—results in a material palette that feels excavated and ancient, yet is entirely driven by cutting-edge AI and LiDAR data.

For Wedge, this recognition from a major trend authority reinforces our position at the vanguard of material innovation. It highlights our commitment to circularity; the ability to return these granular forms to powder and reprint them ensures that our aesthetic choices are always backed by ecological responsibility.

As the industry looks toward a more sensorial and sustainable future, we are proud that ColourHive has identified Wedge as a key studio defining the tactile and visual language of the years to come.
