A meticulously crafted adventure in outer space
Osiris Hertman
Born in Tilburg, Netherlands, in 1972, he showed an early interest in crafting items as a child. After graduating from the Design Academy in Eindhoven, he established himself in Amsterdam, experimenting with various disciplines. He describes himself as a versatile craftsman and tactile designer.
In Moon Surface, the Technogym Bench becomes part of a space adventure without gravity. The artist meticulously crafted it by casting aluminum as a brittle biscuit plate, then spraying it with Ferrari car paint gold, and finally pouring eight layers of epoxy. Air bubbles were added layer by layer, day after day, creating a fairytale moonscape that invites tactile exploration.
Design to Move
A special exhibition held at Technogym Milano during 2024 Design Week, Design to Move explores the unique and profound connection between design and wellness, style and functionality, emotional and tangible. The exclusive Technogym Bench collection, beyond its functional use, serves as an artistic expression and a symbol of social responsibility. After being showcased at Milan Design Week, the creations will be auctioned off in collaboration with Sotheby's and sold on technogym.com. All profits will be donated to UNICEF*.
