SEC.02 — THE WORKSHOP

Where lumps are examined

Materiality

Every surface has weight. Buttons depress with visible shadows and spring back. Panels have beveled edges that catch simulated light. Containers look like they are made from frosted resin poured over circuitry.

Imperfection

Objects are slightly rounded where they should be sharp, slightly imperfect where they should be precise, like a 3D-printed prototype that has not been sanded yet.

Physicality

Think of a physicist's desk toy. A blob of ferrofluid behind glass. A lava lamp at 2am. Objects that are both technically precise and inherently playful.

Geometry

Clean circles, perfect stems, mathematically pure proportions contrast with organic, lumpy visual forms. The precision of geometric type against blobby containers.

everything interesting is slightly lumpy.
