Julien Carretero

Young French designer Julien Carretero has worked with Maarten Baas since 2006. His work sheds new light on ancient production methods, in particular the craft of casting metal. “When you cast an object, you have to make a new mold after each edition because the mold distorts quickly,” explains Moss. In Carretero’s piece Chapter One, he takes a small two inch- wide profile of the cabinet, casts it in resin, and then reuses the same mold to cast another sliver in a different color. The mold distorts over time, and the result is a wavy exploration of an object that appears to be shifting in time.
