andy martin: gridspace

london based designer andy martin will present an ambitious new project in partnership with PPP, a venetian based plastics product company, in the brera design district during the fuorisalone 2012. gridspace is the exploration of the rigour of geometry and the transparency of plastic. it is the development of andy’s fascination with materiality and elemental constructions. with the inherent restrictions of a grid form andy looks to find the emotion through the raw liquid material of ABS and acrylic plastic in the transparency and colour. here form plays a secondary role in delivering an object. gridspace tables can be altered by the user by inserting colour square plugs into the grid and designing to one’s own imagination creating a playful transient object of personality. andy martin’s collaboration with PPP takes their work into new areas of experimentation. this limited edition work allows them to collaborate and re think their existing product and production skills, new materials and processes that would be too prohibitive to use when designing for mass production.
