For their concept Pop Up Design Gallery at Argent, Matter of Stuff commissioned Raw Edges to design an installation that could unite MOS unique three-fold expertise: commissioning design, researching materials and technologies, and showcasing designs from world-renowned design brands.

The installation consists of a repeated one single element, a wooden dowel suspended from the ceiling by a blue string. This multiplied element creates a tactile invitation to the space as well as an architectural tool that defines the space; creates partitions and a cast background to the exhibits.

Setting airy partitions opens new possibilities, it defines areas and creates division, allowing to display the collection in different caves within the vertical infill but it also lets the visitors see what behind the partition, let them wander through the wall if they wanted.
The wooden dowels are hanged next to each other will probably create knocking sounds like an instrument reminding us the familiar experience of a child walking and creating a rhythm with a stick along a metal railing fence.

Designing a pop-up store comes with concerns; what should be a justified carbon footprint of a temporary space and how to rationalise the economic burden in an effective way. Raw Edges approach to the design of the Matter Of Stuff pop up store is to keep everything as raw as possible; the space left as honest and is nearly untouched, the walls are exposed, the floor is bare as well as the ceiling above the fixings. A minimal lighting installation designed by SEAM gracefully supports the wooden dowels installation by Raw Edges.
