About the Item

Lunar Limited Edition Bench in Aluminum by Jesse Ede Limited Edition of 5 Pieces + 1P Dimensions: D 190 x W 45 x H 65 cm. Materials: Aluminum. Lunar Bench is an indoor/outdoor bench made from a combination of molten recycled aluminium and a hand-selected piece of Malmesbury slate stone. The stone was sourced from a quarry close to where the artist lives and is very common in the geological makeup of South Africa’s Cape but is rarely used for anything else but building materials. Two humble materials come together to create a beautiful harmony. The aim of this piece is to accentuate contrast in balance. The subtle cast aluminium leg embodies lightness, while the large stone represents heaviness. These two materials are manipulated in a way that shows both the contrast between them and the man-made processes that bind them together in sculpture. Born in Cape Town, Jesse Ede is a self-taught designer who favours materials and a process-driven approach to furniture design and sculpture. Working primarily in aluminium, stone, bronze, and brass, he looks to celebrate the rawness of uncontrollable outcomes from processes that are uncommonly used. Ede’s childhood was spent at the workbench of his father, an artist, designer, carpenter, and leather worker, schooling him in a wide array of skills and sparking a deep love for craft. For eight years, he worked as an artisan all around the world, including a long stint as a carpenter for a boat-building company in Antigua. Upon returning to South Africa, he opened a small design and manufacturing studio that provided custom interiors and furniture installations for clients in the commercial sector. Ede’s work is the outcome of a great deal of experimentation with open-cast smelting. He favours exposing and highlighting the organic nature of his mediums – manipulating them to expose the contrast between the material itself and the man-made processes that form them into collectible furniture. He sources his materials himself, visiting local quarries to select a piece of Malmesbury slate or granite – the character of which dictates his final design. Every new project sees him taking on a new design challenge and adding to his repertoire of skills.
