NATALIA TRIANTAFYLLI / ANDREW SCOTT

Andrew Scott and Natalia Triantafylli are showing objects made with their distinctive individual style—Natalia’s 3d printing plastic/ceramic and Andrew’s blackened sheet steel—pushing forward their shared belief that objects have soul. In addition to these, they joined forces for the first time to create a collaborative collection that combines ceramic elements with metal structures. Their interpretation of attention to detail is based around showing signs of the hand of the maker, allowing one to connect with them more strongly. Objects normally mass-manufactured like switches, hinges, and bolts are instead bespoke. Welds, creases, and fingerprints remain within the work, there to be seen by the viewer like treasures in a magpie’s nest; silent indicators of their unique nature.

Natalia Triantafylli and Andrew Scott are London based designers and investigative makers with a shared fascination with material culture and the history of objects. Natalia engages in a dialogue between physical and digital ways of making by creating hybrid objects that consist of handmade ceramics and their 3D printed alter egos. Andrew creates furniture using sheets of mild steel: a material which at first seems rigid and cold, but upon manipulation begins to offer up its warm voice and fluid determination.
