IN CONVERSATION WITH GONZALEZ HAASE AAS
For more than two decades, Gonzalez Haase AAS have worked across architecture, scenography, lighting and design. Founded in Berlin in 1999 by Judith Haase and Pierre Jorge Gonzalez, the studio has developed a distinct approach to space, material and light, with projects spanning galleries, fashion and cultural spaces.
Their latest project, Spatial Objects, brings this thinking into a collection of sculptural, modular pieces made entirely from discarded marble offcuts, created in collaboration with Munich-based Marbledworks. On the occasion of Currents, we spoke with Haase and Gonzalez about the series, their approach to leftover materials, and the unexpected possibilities of marble.
