AUFGABE NULL

Specialising in generalism, as the studio puts it, AUFGABE NULL makes objects that behave as small architectural interventions. Hilaria and Nikita von Saldern work from Forststrasse in Berlin, and the promise on the door is narrow and clear: unexpected objects for memorable spaces.

The signature material is EPDM rubber granulate, which gives every piece a low-resolution, voxel-like grain that reads physically rather than digitally. The Dickicht series turns those rubber granules into furniture and objects, and the same material underpins the GANNI open editions: two-coloured pieces developed on behalf of architect Emanuele Stamuli for the label’s concept stores, each one crafted in Berlin. The pieces have travelled to GANNI stores from Tokyo and Seoul to New York and Paris, while the studio has shown at Collectible and Edit Napoli and taken part in the fifth RoPlastic Prize.
