ARIANE PRIN
Born from experimental exploration and an interest in repurposing discarded materials, RUST is a series of minimal vessels created by Ariane Prin – a French designer currently based in London. The textured surfaces and nuanced tones have an organic tactility, which Prin first discovered by mixing metal key-cutting dust with gypsum and acrylic in 2013. This lightweight, stone-like composite was originally used in building work in the 1980s. Now, contemporary makers such as Prin are testing its possibilities.
