The pillar table, is the result of a first collab between Charlotte Van Innis and David Braeckman (Ministry of Mass).

The goal was to design a round dining table, the heart of the house, where we could see ourselves dining for hours with our friends and family. The table had to transmit warmth and cosiness in both shape and material. The leg, also the soul of the table, consists of four cutting cylinders, which form a solid base for this imposing table.

For those who don’t know micro-cement, it could appear as rough, yet finished it has the softest feel. The marble centerpieces, not only give a nice contrast, they can be lifted up and used as unique table pads. Also, they are matching with the new pendant lights ‘Waltz’. The table is on display in our new show space in Ghent, ÉTALÉ

Material: wooden structure, micro-cement coating, oil finish, marble centerpieces.

Dimensions: Ø 140 cm - H 76 cm (seating 6 to 8 people)

size and color also made to measure

Custom made wooden bookstand/music booth.

Paint job by ‘Werken Coolens’

We created this lobby desk for a Hotel at the Belgian seaside.

The black&blue tabletop is covered with a matte paint that protects against bumps and scratches, while at the same time making the surface soft and smooth.

The perforated steel plate was painted gold and, in addition to providing extra strength, it also hides cables and sockets.

The whole is based on solid oak round legs.

The Chamfer series is the first collaboration between Ministry of Mass and Charly Cnops (Sponc).  

Presenting the first two pieces of the Chamfer series: the #desk and #floor lamp. 

Ministry of Mass and Sponc explore the contrast between natural materials, raw steel and LED technology. Resulting in innovative, elemental and functional objects with precise detailing and high quality finish.

The objects embody the designer’s daring and contemporary take on light. Refining a lamp down to it’s most elemental form. With a strong (marble) base and minimal (aluminum) body. The sleek design combines the art of natural stone with the craft of hand-cranked metal.

The base of the #floor lamp is made from travertino rosso Travertine marble, with a porous surface with reddish glow. The body is a hand-cranked aluminum cylinder with a high quality silver powdercoat finish. Integrated in a symmetrical form with innovative LED technology. 

Straight from the quarry into your salon.

The Diamond is a solid rock of ambiguous character, consisting out of concrete and shaped like a diamond. The paradox it contains is no airy matter.

Concrete has formed our world by giving us the ability to construct in new ways. Diamonds, the ultimate objects of desire have no real impact on our way of life but their superlative qualities that superceed their usability have intrigued us for ages. The Diamond has with it’s shape rendered the concrete useless and claims it’s new position as an object of reflection and desire.

Even though it does not shimmer as it's carbon based similars, it does purify air thanks to it's titanium oxide supplement. The Diamond compels to reevaluate materials and their intrinsic properties while criticizing our perception driven culture.

All things Man made are part of Nature. It is an illusion to think that Man can transcend Nature and make objects that are not bound by it’s laws.

The stool, vaguely reminiscing of a lighthouse by the shore, sheds light on a new way of dealing with objects. The Stool demands patience of Man. It’s color palette is completed when moss grows on it’s concrete parts. Making the Stool’s perfection dependant on the life around it. When the moss perishes the Stool’s powerful thrichotomy in color and material will perish with it.

The Stool raises questions on how we deal with our environment and preludes the practice of fading the separation between Man’s created world and Nature.

The swing takes up the most daring challenge of all. It must persuade Man to temporarily abandon all sense of security and control.

To keep one’s mind brisk and spry it is crucial to release it from its own habits and wonts. To free Man from his ever unfailing sense of duty he must be introduced to the notion of play. What better way to achieve this than challenging the power of gravity on the erratic sway of the swing?

When Man regrasps control, after experiencing the favorable effects of play, his mind suddenly leaps to new insights. No mastery without release.

Focussed attention has become very rare. In our world of constant diversion and partial attention, Man is being reconditioned to constantly react to new stimuli, making it challenging to concentrate.

Light enables us to work independent of nature’s day and night rhythm. It frees us from Nature’s dictate of time whereas life used to calm down at night and Man had the opportunity to reflect on the days work, he is now overwhelmed, even at night, with the flickering glory of distraction.

Our Lamp’s heavy presence makes it laborious to direct it’s light thus stimulating undivided focus and attention.

The Homegrown hanging planter is designed to maximize plant growth and root development while minimizing plant care. Use it to grow your own air purifying plants. With the Areca Palm, Sansevieria and the Epipremnum you can purify your own air and remove many volatile chemicals found in buildings today. 

The Homegrown hanging planter is ideal to rapidly grow strong stems you can use for cloning. With it’s sub-irrigated design you will easily grow healthy clones and rapidly multiply your air purifying arsenal. Most houseplants die of overwatering. To prevent this from happening we incorporated an overflow hole in the design. You might get your floor wet but you will not kill your plants.
