Burgeoning Symbiosis
Burgeoning Symbiosis
Burgeoning Symbiosis was inspired by the blossoming beauty of early spring. The design captures the essence of renewal and transformation seen in nature and tech. This work harmoniously blends new manufacturing technologies with age-old artistic traditions.

Metamorphosis

Crafted from a durable 3mm thick steel sheet, the design undergoes a transformation through the process of plasma cutting. This method allows us to carve a precise path in the metal, enabling it to bend and take on a captivating three-dimensional form, reminiscent of a blossoming tree.
Drawing from the rich heritage of traditional Japanese art, specifically the ancient practice of Origami dating back to the 9th century, we employ the technique to fashion intricate shapes mirroring the elegance of blooming blossoms.

Convergence

Despite the centuries that separate the invention of these two remarkable manufacturing methods, both remain indispensable in various fields including science, engineering, space exploration, art, and design. Burgeoning Symbiosis celebrates this enduring synergy between old-world craftsmanship and cutting-edge innovation.

Balance

Embracing the delicate balance between tradition and progress, Burgeoning Symbiosis represents a fusion of timeless techniques and modern advancements, embodying the essence of harmony in design.

About Atelier Oscar Greve

AOG explores the uncharted space that can be found between on one side Art and Design on the other. The challenge lays in how co-existance of these two disciplines can be implemented in one single object where Design takes on the role of functionality and Art engages with the challange of translating social relevances into a tangible manifestation.
