Collection

KERSTENS’ Mono collection welcomes a remarkable new addition: STG (side table glass). Capturing a fleeting moment of rippling water, this glass collectible encapsulates bubbles of air and features ethereal glass textures within a sleek, geometric form. Moulded and shaped by the hands of master artisans, KERSTENS’ latest creation pays tribute to the beauty of craftsmanship, heritage and the aesthetic harmony between solid materials and cutting-edge production techniques. STG, a variation on the original STS (side table stone) from the Mono collection, is available in an 8-piece limited edition (+ 4AP).

showcasing exclusive collectibles that are thoughtfully crafted and rooted in archetypal design principles. Carved by Belgian artisans from solid blocks of the finest natural stone, each piece is a testament to the beauty of simplicity where pure, elegant lines converge with the timeless aesthetics of classical antiquity.

Mono is a distinguished collection of exclusive pieces, where archetypal forms are distilled into pure, refined compositions. Rooted in the study of symmetry, proportion and contrast, each piece embodies a dialogue between fluid curves and precise, angular lines. Sculpted from solid blocks of the finest materials, these forms expose their raw essence through craftsmanship and precision.

A rare expression of material mastery, STG translates Mono’s sculptural language into a luminous, ephemeral form. Entirely cast in glass through a meticulous cold casting process, it is shaped by master artisans in the Czech Republic, renowned for their unparalleled expertise. The creation process began with a wooden model, carefully refined and subtly altered to embrace imperfection as an intrinsic quality.

These delicate irregularities were then transposed into glass, resulting in a soft, undulating texture, suspended air pockets and organic inner striations, capturing the raw beauty of the material in its most ethereal state.

As light passes through, the STG transforms. Its shifting translucency and intricate surface refract illumination in a dynamic interplay of reflection and shadow, creating a sense of depth that evolves with its surroundings.

The imperfections, each intentional and unique, amplify this effect, turning the piece into a living composition of ever-changing movement.
