Theme & Variation by Julien Carretero involves casting an inch-thick hollow form in polyurethane foam and then using this to create another mould for the next piece. The errors that occur while casting the flexible material lead to mutations which, when the castings are joined together, create strange, morphing forms.
Julien Carretero graduated in June 2007 from the IM Master course “conceptuel design in context”, at the Design Academy Eindhoven, under the direction of Gijs Bakker (Droog Design). His thesis entitled Theme & Variations explored the border between uniqueness and serial production. Fascinated by the link between contexts, processes and mediums, his designs aims at creating surprises, and, rather than marketing beauty his vision focuses more on encouraging curiosity.
