, presented at the Friedman Benda gallery in September. Confined to his Long Island home during the early months of the pandemic, he experimented with materials that were easily at hand – found rocks and stones, and his sons’ collection of Play-Doh, which he would use to create hand-pressed forms. ‘Rock.01’ poetically ties these organic elements together.
‘Kohler reached out to me about a year and a half ago, specifically about a new technology that they had been developing around 3D-printed,’ recalls Arsham. ‘The technology is pretty nascent, but beyond being able to do some incredible things that are not possible with traditional slip casting, there’s a huge sustainability factor. There’s very little waste and it uses a lot less water than regular casting methods.
‘One of the super interesting things about the 3D-printed surface is that it’s actually quite imperfect,’ Arsham adds. ‘There are some flaws in it and, in some ways, it looks more handmade than the other sinks that Kohler produces now.’as part of an installation designed by Arsham to mark Kohler’s first time at the fair. Released in a limited edition of 99, the inspiring design effortlessly unites Arsham’s and Kohler’s worlds, even though that might have seemed unlikely at first glance.
