FORMSOPHY is the artistic practice of Alicja Prussakowska and Jakub Kijowski. Their profound fascination lies in textures, materials, and the stories these elements convey. Through a mix of traditional and experimental techniques, the studio creates sculptural objects that juxtapose a primeval aesthetic with exquisite details. In their hands, the casting process transcends mere technique to become a vital aspect of the creative narrative, holding equal importance to the final objects themselves.

Saimaa is a one-of-a-kind console, cast entirely in aluminum. Its slender, irregular tabletop rests on solid, elliptical legs. The raw texture of the cast aluminum transitions smoothly into sleek, refined surface areas. Embodying an element of primitivism, the console also exudes a distinctly contemporary feel. Zebra quartz has been embedded in both the legs and tabletop of the console, adding a mystical aura with its energy-transforming properties, turning this sculptural piece into a magical object.

NAR is a small sculptural object exploring the contrast between raw and refined materials. A solid piece of beige onyx with warm copper undertones is set into a cast aluminum form. The stone’s natural translucency and fractured edges meet the textured surface of metal, creating a quiet dialogue of opposites; warmth and cold, softness and rigidity. Though compact, the piece holds a strong presence, balancing material tension with a sense of stillness.
