Made in Plastic, Arno Mathies
Platform 8

My design practice embodies a variety of themes and approaches. I explore the tools of the designer and their relationship with industry, while challenging the boundaries of function, 
art and materiality.

I am discovering a juxtaposition between themes to explore new typologies and concepts. My pieces deal with the disparity between the real and the fake, craft versus industry and challenge pure function versus conceptuality. Made in Plastic is a collection of hand-made plastic furniture, pushing and testing these boundaries.

As a designer I seek to find a symbiosis in these relationships to create new objects.
