BLACKSAND COLLECTION

Composition

Real paint brushstrokes, made with painter August Maltzan, are translated into 3D and extruded into black sand lighting. Drawing on Abstract Expressionist painting and the use of impasto, each piece lets a single painterly gesture soar through three-dimensional space.

BIO

Cole Slater is a furniture and object designer specializing in collectible design, lighting, and 3D sculpting. His work lives at the intersection of historicism and futurism, pulling from both at once until the result reads as periodless. This duality extends to his process, where physical and digital modes of making move back and forth, preserving traces of the human hand and natural materials.
