Fractall

Fractall is a Belgian design practice founded by Arne Desmet, working on lighting and objects that sit between sculpture and function. Patterns and textures found in nature are the starting point, paired with a fascination for man-made materials and the processes behind them, so that each piece reads as both natural and industrial.

The studio aims to embrace technological production while adding a sense of humanity: objects stay highly functional despite their sculptural presence, and traces of the making process are left visible in celebration of materials in their pure form. The Spire collection reduces the stepped arches of Art Deco architecture to essential proportions, cut from 3 mm metal sheet and finished in hand-sanded aluminium or mirror-polished stainless steel.
