| Extruded
Vase
The inspiration behind the “Extruded Vase” series comes
from, quite obviously, seeds and how they grow into flowers. It
was also deeply influenced by an alternative approach to designing
a vase – Ultimately, the ‘shell’ of this series
is a ‘holder’ that is intended to cradle the glass vase
... the seed and the stem. This very simply aesthetic investigation
of a seed, how it is surrounded by a material (dirt) has allowed
Tim ANToniuk to explore new areas and definitions of what a flower
vase is or what it can be.
Pod Tables
Similar to the “Morph Stool”, the “Pod Tables”
are another excellent representation of ANT’s commitment to
researching and using some of the world’s most innovative
and sustainable materials. Going far beyond the application of interesting
materials, this table lines surface can be altered in almost any
manner – It can be shaped into a bowl, a vase, it can be embossed
with a low relief image/mold. This is true mass customization that
can occur over and over.
Morph Stool
The “Morph Stool” most accurately represents ANT’s
commitment and pioneering research into the world’s most innovative
materials. Going far beyond the application of interesting materials,
, Tim Antoniuk is working with a group of leading academic researchers
to develop a variety of materials, such as plastics, that are able
remember their original “cast” state. Recent research
and material developments have allowed ANT to create this stool
line whose surface can be altered in almost any manner – decorative
and/or ergonomic. This stools seat can be custom formed to, well,
ones own personal seat - The ultimate in aesthetic and ergonomics.
