[Briefing]
In search of making the invisible tangible, RBG18 developed a cymatic installation in which sound waves are translated into matter. During the search for a function for the created forms, a way to influence the result in a controlled manner was found. The objects serve as a vessel of sound while being usable for human interaction.
[Artistic Approach]
By recognizing patterns and rhythms within the waveforms, the human brain can find possibilities in the seemingly random void. The process is intuitive, navigating between chaos and the known. The technology used allows sound to be a guide while creating.

The resulting objects serve as functional vessels showing the shape of sound. This approach questions the philosophical meaning of objects (why they exist, what they represent) and the physical (how they are used). The Vessel project shows the interplay of randomness and intention, showcasing how technology can amplify the creative process while preserving the organic essence of its inspiration.

Our chess design was born from a essentialist conservative idea: to create a minimal set that preserves the identity of each piece. Our goal was to strike a balance. We reimagined the classic shapes of the knight, king, and other pieces, distilling them into clean, modern lines while ensuring they remain unmistakably chess.
For organizational and tactile reasons, magnets are embedded in the middle of each square. Mixed media showcasing of a LP or other material is possible. The result is a set that honors the game’s heritage while embracing a bold, architectural aesthetic—a perfect fusion of tradition and innovation.
