Sharing resources, skills and knowledge always means that each individual is valued for what they can offer to contribute. This is the essence on which ÆTHER/MASS is founded. The intention is simple yet potent: bringing together the vision of thinkers and the skills of artisans and technicians.

ÆTHER/MASS was founded in 2022 by Belgian designer Davy Grosemans. Each piece of the collection serves as an exploration of new and uncharted processes, materials and production techniques. While the pieces in the collection are minimalist, the symbolic meaning they carry is deeper and layered.

Repeated experiments are performed to redefine the meaning and essence of an object. Individual elements are twisted, turned and distorted to a point where the object takes on a new function, or a point where it retains its original usage and function but takes on a whole new meaning, and hints at a whole new narrative or reference. The objects are tangible outcomes of the studio’s exploration into myriad materials, processes and craftsmanship techniques.
