Press & Feature

We were recently featured in STIRworld, where writer Bansari Paghdar explored the philosophy behind our debut furniture collection, Epoch [I] & [II]. The article highlights our departure from the "predictable perfection" often found in digital design, focusing instead on how we use "algorithmic imperfections" to create something deeply human and tactile.

The feature breaks down the two distinct directions of the collection. Epoch I (including the Soleus and Coccyx chairs) is rooted in anatomy, with forms derived from postural logic that adapt to the user’s micro-movements. Epoch II (featuring the Talus, Taphra, and Lyapse tables) shifts the focus to geology, reinterpreting the forces of erosion and compaction into domestic objects.

As the article notes, our work at Wedge is a "process of discovery." By synthesizing machine and matter, we use binder jet printing in recycled quartz sand to create pieces that evoke the slow, temporal wear of stone. This recognition by STIRworld celebrates our "Activating Dimensionality" manifesto—the belief that sustainability and high-tech experimentation are not just compatible, but essential for a more sensorial future.

For our clients and collectors, this feature serves as a testament to the fact that a Wedge piece is more than furniture; it is a material narrative of formation, stability, and the beauty of instability.
