PUSH Collaborates with EIS Studio Pebbles Exhibition
Pebbles were first envisioned during a photo shoot in which Eva Sobesky of EIS Studios was intrigued by the natural shape of a pebble, specifically how its visceral aesthetic, coupled with its functionality, made it a distinctive set piece.
EIS began exploring the sensual and sensational possibilities presented by furniture sculpted with a beautiful, organic shape that’s as stimulating to the touch as it is to the eye. The first Pebbles were manufactured out of layers of wood, resin, and fiber reinforced concrete. Its unique blend of function anddesign earned the Pebble series a showcase in the California Market Center, the fashion epicenter of Los Angeles. It was a collaboration with PUSH Offices, however, that presented the thesis for a cardboard Pebble.
The project was to organically mesh a book with a functional object. EIS began experimenting with techniques for cutting and treating cardboard and researching similar projects.
50 models later, the cardboard Pebble manifested itself. Each one is constructed from layers of lasercut cardboard in gradually increasing oval rings. The internal circles within each layer form the basis for smaller pebbles, a practice in economy that cuts down on waste while adding to the beauty of the concept–the pebbles all share a common source.
