Wedge Design
Gorgonia
Description
Gorgonia emerges from coral memory, a branching skeletal form that recalls the layered evolution of underwater life. Its mineral lattice seems grown rather than made, balancing softness with rigidity like a reef hardened over time. The structure echoes the spread of gorgonian coral, with fractal branches shaped by currents and efficiency. A vertical spine of turned wood runs through the form, holding it in balance between growth and compression.
Dimensions
526*455*750mm
Uses
- Interiors seeking statement objects
- Residential spaces that benefit from collectible design moments
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.
