Johan Viladrich
French designer, based in Rotterdam, The Netherlands

A pure design with essential forms is what characterises the aesthetic of Johan Viladrich.

In his work he aims to reveal the inherent beauty of materials through refined surface treatments and subtle combinations. He uses the mass of metals such as bronze, steel or copper to create radical structures in which all superfluous elements have disappeared.

Johan attaches as much importance to the final appearance of his pieces as to the mechanisms making them exist. Bolts, straps and joints are magnified and turned into intrinsic parts of a whole. The designs are transparent and each piece is a search for balance, only reachable through a meticulous work of proportions.

ABOUT THE PIECE

The RB02 bench is a brutal assemblage of materials held together with black rubber bands. With this seemingly improvised connection, aluminum plates, steel tubes and stainless steel rods are forming the fundamental structure of a bench.

Here, as materials are stacked onto one another, the trace of the maker is absent, shaping and drawing are non-existent. Only a careful selection of materials, finishes and proportions remains, questioning the integrity of the bench as a complete object.
