“Forms & Textures” is an exhibition created by Mas Creations. Mas Creations is an initiative from award-winning interior & product design studio Masquespacio. Through Mas Creations after designing for more than 10 years all type of commercial projects with Masquespacio, Ana Hernández & Christophe Penasse wanted to show their personal and independent view on design & art without being tied to a briefing, with the aim to experiment more than they did before and thus seek for new challenges, creating new objects & projects that make you live new experiences and question the regular through a collection of products and projects that narrate a story represented by their universe of forms, textures, colors and materials.

With the“Forms & Textures”exhibition we want to start the discussion about the boundaries between Art & Design.The "Forms & Textures" collection in this sense is presented as a serie of individual objects that could be interpreted at first sight as a chair, a lamp or a room divider, although its unusual and at first sight uncomfortable forms are making clear that people are not speaking about a functional design object.

The collection created from a line drawn on paper to a 3D printed object thus recreates a serie of different forms that could represent a furniture and lighting collection, but although its unusual and unusable forms convert them in an artwork challenging the viewer to reflect about the boundaries between Art & Design.

Following Ana Hernandez and Christophe Penasse reflection about“The boundaries between Design & Art”they wanted to start the creation process of the collection, changing way of developing an artwork. Hereby instead of designing the different elements digitally in 3D as we always do;they decided to initiate the creation process through the use of a pencil and a paper.

The starting point of the collection thus was just a line drawn on a paper, that intensified Ana Hernandez and Christophe Penasse reflection about the line that defines if an object is an artwork or a design. In a further stage they started to process the lines in 3D, creating different forms that are standing by its own and at the same time connecting together; marked by a partition line that clearly creates a boundary between each form that makes the complete artwork.The different designs were developed from a 2D point of view and later converted in a 3D printed object, as part of the process were tradition and technology come together, questioning the use of analogic and digital techniques in design and art.
