Observing callus formations or overgrowths of injured, diseased areas on trunks and branches - stretch marks on tree bark, cracks, tree beads, outgrowths and tree cancer - I imitate such bodies by greatly simplifying and calming their form and aestheticizing them, giving them an inherent glow.

Pipe bend [180°; d=88.9mm]

The use of untreated virgin wool supports the glow inherent in the bodies and provides a perceptible sense of calm and warmth [inspiration from Biennale 23, Pavilion Slovenia].

The virgin wool is felted over transparent 3D prints [transparent PETG], which are applied at minimal printing speed and with a large layer height. This makes the bodies more glassy and the layers towards the front more light-conducting.

Hannes Herbst + Robert Freitag

We are two designers and students of interior architecture at the Burg Giebichenstein University of Art and Design in Halle.

Together as studio herbst.freitag based at Pittlerwerke Leipzig we try to shape objects and spaces through materiality and aesthetization of mundane, industrial means and production methods. Rather than being subordinated as purely functional details, we treat them as ornaments.

 

Our functional objects and interventions are intended to respond to spaces, to have the ability to structure and invite.
