“The Drip Collection conveys the power of color and the importance of physicality, but combines this with a playful sensibility. In an increasingly digital and virtual world, I’m excited to show real products that make a bold statement with their design and physicality,” says Ryan Twardzik, Unform Studio design principal.

The Drip Collection represents a fusion of spontaneity and structure in furniture design, blending organic, random shapes with the precision of industrial manufacturing techniques. It draws on the ethos of post-war American art movements like Abstract Expressionism, reminiscent of artists like Helen Frankenthaler who embraced a certain surrender to the medium’s inherent characteristics. This collection is inspired by Frankenthaler’s soak-stain technique, where paint naturally seeps into the canvas, forming distinctive patterns and dynamic forms. Each piece in the Drip Collection emulates this approach, with the paint’s natural pooling dictating its unique shape and appearance.
