Materials: wood and linseed oil. The exo series is available in two standard dimensions: small (60 x 40 cm) and big (90 x 45 cm). To ensure its authenticity and collectible value, every piece is individually signed by the artists. Martens & visser push the boundaries of wood. Exo is crafted from wood less than a millimeter thick, built up from four delicate layers. Working with wood is a deliberate choice—it is a living, natural material that carries warmth and authenticity. Using a technique of extreme precision, each piece is cut with a blade, ensuring clean, sharp lines. These incisions allow the wood to transform into a three-dimensional object, bending effortlessly in two directions. The structure is fixed in a minimalist way, preserving its sculptural form. The shapes and colors emerge from an intuitive process, experimentation with the material itself defines the design. We seek forms that feel harmonious, elegant, and unexpected. The pieces strike a balance between control and organic expression. Objects that spark the imagination, their organic, gently curved shapes echo elements of nature, such as leaves or shells, while subtly hinting at a mask-like presence. Precise linear cut-outs create an interplay of light and shadow, allowing the piece to subtly engage with its surroundings. As light shifts across the surface, the depth and dimensionality of the object come to life. Sustainability plays a vital role in martens & visser’s work. The studio works with materials by applying them in a pure way, without unnecessary additions. This approach gives seemingly simple materials a new, timeless value. Their work embodies a natural authenticity, allowing materials to reveal their true essence. This honesty is central to their practice, ensuring that each piece is both aesthetically and ecologically considered. Studio martens & visser, creates objects of wonder, playful interior pieces and immersive installations inspired by nature and the beauty of physics.
