volup

(EN) Volup is an object in polished cast metal that revisits the form of the rolled parchment scroll, the favoured medium of ancient manuscripts. Its modules slide into one another to offer different uses, as a book end, a lectern or a reading stand, and can also be arranged into a variety of sculptural compositions.

The design continues Corpus Studio's research into poetic structures, whereby structural elements, materials and fabrication techniques are explored and applied to domestic and collectible design artefacts.

Volup was commissioned by ARCHIK for its tenth anniversary, for which the agency invited ten artists and designers to revisit the book end through a series of exclusive editions.

(FR) Volup est un objet en fonte de métal poli qui revisite la forme du parchemin roulé, support privilégié des manuscrits antiques. Les modules se glissent les uns dans les autres pour offrir différents usages : serre-livre, lutrin ou encore pupitre, mais aussi pour créer diverses compositions sculpturales.

Volup s'inscrit dans la continuité des recherches de Corpus Studio sur les structures poétiques, où éléments structurels, matériaux et techniques de fabrication sont explorés pour être appliqués à des objets de design domestiques et de collection.

Volup a été édité par ARCHIK à l'occasion de ses dix ans, pour lesquels l'agence a invité dix artistes et designers à revisiter le serre-livre à travers une série d'éditions exclusives.
