Since their first collaboration in 2022, the partnership between Cassin<\/a>a and Linde Freya Tangelder<\/a> has yielded creations that blend artistic sensibility and artisanal excellence. Within the framework of the Patronage project\u2014an initiative aimed at supporting emerging international talent\u2014the Dutch designer has developed pieces defined by her unmistakable sculptural language. Her latest creation, the\u00a0Fluid Joinery \u2013 Side Table I<\/em>, is an ode to glass in its purest state.<\/p>\n\n\n

With this low table, Tangelder delves into the intrinsic nature of glass\u2014from fluidity to solidity\u2014leveraging its expressive potential to craft a monolithic object of striking presence. Each table is made of blown glass and hand-shaped using a cast-iron mould in the Veneto region of Italy. The result is an object with an organic, irregular silhouette, where variations in thickness generate subtle plays of light, reflection and colour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The technical challenge has been considerable. Cassina has developed highly complex production processes to ensure the structural stability of the piece\u2014especially at the base that supports the upper volume\u2014and to achieve the delicate engravings that enrich its surface.<\/p>\n\n\n

The designer is especially drawn to the ambiguity of glass: a material that, when heated, acquires an almost architectural fluidity, allowing it to be shaped like a sculpture. This fascination is evident in every detail of the table, where form and matter engage in a delicate dialogue.<\/p>\n\n\n

Fluid Joinery \u2013 Side Table I<\/em>\u00a0is available in a single format\u2014conceived to be displayed individually or in group compositions\u2014and in three refined colours: smoked, amber and blue. Each hue is achieved through the layering of transparent and pigmented glass. As a result of the entirely artisanal process, each table is slightly different, making every piece one of a kind.<\/p>\n\n\n

Linde Freya Tangelder<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Linde Freya Tangelder (Netherlands, 1987) is a Dutch designer who explores the boundaries between art, design and architecture. Founder of the studio Destroyers\/Builders, her work is characterised by a strong sculptural sensibility, a deep respect for materials and an approach that combines brutalism with intimacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trained in both the Netherlands and Belgium, her practice revolves around the idea of building by deconstructing\u2014playing with contrasts in texture, proportion and finish. Her pieces\u2014ranging from furniture to installations\u2014reveal a balance between rawness and refinement, often drawing inspiration from architectural fragments, utilitarian objects or industrial elements reimagined through a poetic lens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tangelder has collaborated with leading galleries such as Maniera<\/a> (Brussels), and has exhibited her work at events including Milan Design Week and institutions such as CID Grand-Hornu. Her artisanal approach and distinctive formal language have positioned her as one of the most compelling voices in contemporary European design.<\/p>\n\n\n
