Objects

Augusta

Ariane van Dievoet, specialised in circular design, presents the Augusta bench, a piece made from Sonian oak wood and carefully selected pieces of discarded stone and marble. This is Ariane van Dievoet’s speciality: combining traditional assembly methods with digital technologies to upgrade salvaged materials by taking into account the properties of the offcuts she collects.

The roundness of the local oak complements the clean lines of the stone, recut to fit their new purpose.
