Description: Magma 2 conjures up cooling lava that no longer flows freely, in the grip of the contradictory physical forces of gravity and falling temperature.
In the same chromatic range as Magma 1 – inspired by tablets adorned with calligraphy in a Korean temple – Magma 2 has been composed in a smaller format.
The thirteen smooth blocks alternating with twelve blocks assembled with a relief effect produce a vibratory sensation and depth.

Description : Inspired by tablets adorned with calligraphy in a Korean temple, Magma 1 conjures up lava that no longer flows freely as it cools. As a variation on the different shades of black, grey and charcoal interspersed with red and blue lines of force, Magma 1 gives an illusion of perpetual vibration. The addition of glossy red textiles adds to the vibratory sensation, depending on how the viewer moves and their viewing angle.
