Less: No.1 Catenary Pottery Printer - Set Four by gt2P
The Exceptional

About This Piece

Exceptional Contemporary Design

Made using a specially handmade wooden machine that passes grès through porous fabrics, this mini-collection of three bowls from the Less:No.1 series is an exclusive commission for us by Santiago-based design studio gt2P. Riffing on 3D printing, the process imitates digital technologies through analogue solutions, resulting in beautiful “handicrafts” produced by machine. The trick of the machine is its ability to adjust certain variables—gravity, fabric tension, fluid weight—that dictate the final form of each bowl. In so doing, they generate various shapes and sizes, each subtly imprinted with the material’s texture.

Delicate, fragile, and almost translucent, each bowl embodies the innovative thinking of this talented—and rising star—young design collective.

In addition to Set Four, four other variations are available, and each is unique.

About the Designer

gt2P

Partners Tamara Pérez (born in Diriamba, Nicaragua in 1981), Sebastián Rozas (born in Santiago, Chile in 1978), Guillermo Parada (born in Santiago, Chile in 1981), and Eduardo Arancibia (born in Santiago, Chile in 1980) founded the multidisciplinary design collective gt2P (great things to People) in 2009 in Santiago, Chile. Pérez, Rozas, and Parada are all trained as architects; Arancibia is a civil industrial engineer.

The quartet met during various stages of studying—either at high school, as undergrads, or while pursuing Masters degrees in Architecture at the Catholic University of Chile. In 2010, however, the architecture trio decided to put their degrees on hold, in order to focus wholeheartedly on gt2P. The studio’s practice places great emphasis on the collaborative nature of design creation, and its name refers to the studio’s conviction that people should be at the center of any design project. gt2P’s work marries digital fabrication and traditional production methods; notable designs include, among others, Shhh the Hope Keeper, a three-dimensional mural that accepts wishes written on paper from passersby, as well as Less CPP, a free-standing catenary pottery printer (both 2013).

gt2P’s work has been presented internationally at numerous events and galleries, including, among others, PAD London; Art Basel; Venura Lambrate, Milan; Rossana Orlandi, Milan; Galerie Gosserez, Paris; Galería Coletivo Amor de Madre, São Paulo; and 19 Greek Street, London.
