From her studio in Brussels, Mathilde Wittock collaborates with academic institutions on research related to the acoustic properties of materials. This aspect of her work deepens her reflection on how objects interact with their sound environment, and how sound can become a component of design, just like light or texture.
These balls, symbols of performance and play, are repurposed from their original use to become the raw material for furniture: stools, benches, wall panels. They are cut, dyed and reassembled by hand using a patented assembly system, and combined with local wood species such as beech from the Sonian Forest. This project perfectly exemplifies Wittock's philosophy: anchoring sustainability in a strong, playful, yet meaningful aesthetic.
