Wedge Design
Alvia
Description
Alvia emerges from a four-dimensional Bouali
attractor, a chaotic system reinterpreted as
form. The result is skeletal without being
figurative, anatomical without being literal, a
chambered structure grown from rotational
feedback and divergence. Its curves suggest
vertebrae and its stance feels almost upright,
a presence at once biological, computational,
and architectural. The internal voids are not
decorative but carry pressure, tension, and
breath.
Color
Metallic
Dimensions
113*112*122mm
Why it works?
Strong geometric language creates immediate spatial presence. Additive manufacturing enables forms not achievable through conventional furniture making. Pieces function as both seating or tables and as architectural objects within a room. Material expression is raw, refined, and directional.
About Wedge Design
Wedge is a London based design studio founded by Peiyan Zou, Andy Zhang, and Lei Zhang. The practice works across furniture, installations, and architectural systems through an experimental approach rooted in material ecology, computation, and fabrication. Their pieces are developed through binder jet printing in quartz sand, then hand finished to reveal a raw, stone like surface. The result is a sculptural design language that feels at once geological, digital, and tactile.
Respecting Biodiversity
- Material systems that minimize reliance on resource intensive extraction.
- Reduced waste production compared to traditional subtractive fabrication.
- Design approach prioritizes long life cycles and spatial permanence.
Sustainability Details
Furniture produced through additive manufacturing processes that reduce material waste. Select pieces utilize sand based or mineral composite materials. Durability and longevity are central to the material strategy.
