LAVA

Design: Pitsou Kedem Architects
Lead Designer in the studio: Tom Zruya

Our design inspiration comes from observing nature, and the eruption of lava is undoubtedly one of nature’s most fascinating phenomena. By its expulsion, lava produces new life and creates a new truth in its environment.

Lava is a living substance. It mutates from liquid to solid, from one shade to another. In the design, we wanted to express the meeting point of the two materials, and the two different forms of stone, and freeze the meeting between these two states of matter.

The outcome is an object that echoes the tension between the freest form found in nature – in this case, the liquid lava – and the limitations of the raw material – solid stone, which, in the hands of the craftsman, redefines the boundaries between them.

With the Lava bathroom collection, Pitsou Kedem Architects unlocks the unexpressed potential of the design through unprecedented material combinations, capable of leading us to unexplored places.
