cmmnwlth: ‘Headspace’ was a symposium convened by Paola Antonelli, of the MoMA, and Laetitia Wolff of Futureflair, exploring the impact and potential applications of scent on design.

zoe COOMBES + david BOIRA: casas i carbo is a set of two masks made in sla photoresin and horse hair presenting a meeting of the exact and the hairy, and the natural and near-figure. one mask is for a man, the other for a woman. the masks were developed for a short video with director and photographer timothy saccenti in conjunction with partizan films. in casas i carbo, the naturally grown material (pony hair), is embedded within the highly unnatural, yet precise rapid-prototyped photoresins. this uncanny material relationship is something that has inspired new ideas at commonwealth- ones which attempt to embed these sorts of dense material relationships within future furniture design projects.
painted sla photoresin and horse hair. (palamino pony tail hair).
each mask is secured by antique leather strapping.
