wa/ter
Cover image missing

wa/ter was founded in response to the excessive waste in interior design, where projects are rapidly planned, demolished over time, and never passed down. This led to the fundamental question: “Have we, as designers, failed to create designs with lasting value?” Through design, wa/ter uncovers new meaning and circulation in materials once shaped by human hands but left without purpose.

wa/ter presents a collection of products that embodies its design philosophy—breathing new life into resources that have lost their original purpose. The collection highlights the inherent beauty of materials with minimal intervention, allowing their natural characteristics to take centre stage. It features furniture, objects, and products crafted from recycled glass sourced from CRT television screens and fluorescent lamps, and Tatsuyama stone from Hyogo Prefecture, a material quarried in Japan for 1.500 years. The collection also includes terrazzo, created by blending recycled glass with natural elements like marble, minerals, and soil.

Conceived as part gallery, part archive, and part marketplace, aarticles is a place to encounter crafted design through process, presence and material intelligence. It began from the belief that objects gain depth through company. New commissions and found objects enter the same catalogue, with each collection joining what came before and leaving room for what follows. The platform was formed as a way of looking closely, placing contemporary and found objects within a longer craft lineage and recognising their measured persistence across generations.
