"The Orbite collection illustrates a series of experiments on the assemblages of metal, reed, earth and wood with each other, their reactions and points of balance. Through this first collection, Altin evokes a contemplative journey where each object, beyond the stereotypes of our daily life, draws the contours of an organic minimalism that sweeps away the superfluous and strongly calls for a return to the essential."
This sculptural display is handcrafted from woven reed under a metal frame, forming a double façade that allows air to circulate through the different levels. The various elements of the metal chessboard float as if weightless above the surface of the approach, recalling the pattern of solar panels unfolding around a satellite. The cold, rigid nature of the metal harmonizes with the delicate, warm fragility of ocean waves, while the natural oxidation treatment of the earth-red metal creates patterns of rings and craters on the surface.
