Description
This hyperbolic prototype, inspired by the concrete experiments of Roni Horn’s chair, is the first adaptation of kutleh, as it explores the wild and boundless possibilities of this material.
Blocks of kutleh draw from selective color spectra that evoke the natural stones in the Levant and the Mediterranean. kutleh presents itself as a redefined raw material, which designers can carve out their limitless creations from, to introduce innovative forms.
While it is important for kutleh to reflect the local feel of their region, they think of the project as one that extends beyond boundaries. Stone waste is produced all over the world, and they see themselves producing localized collections that reflect the lands of the raw materials. The variation of colors and forms that spring from different locations is where the beauty lies.
kutleh (arabic: block, mass) is a project that repurposes the surplus produced from cladding tiles used in everyday construction projects and attempts to create blocks out of the discarded. These new kutleh blocks emerge as a new medium. In its essence, kutleh aspires to create multiple unique blocks of various forms and colors, offering designers around the world a new medium to carve out and realize their own designs. This project was conceptualized and established by Architect Rula Yaghmour, who has an interest in various design disciplines. Her appreciation and understanding of materiality has ushered in a fruitful collaboration with stone and marble fabricators A.W. Yasin & Sons Co. The family business has been in this industry since the early 1960s, contributing with their valuable expertise to Rula's designs.
