ÆTHER/MASS — Available through The Orb

The Aperture Table is a functional object in which ornament emerges through subtraction rather than addition. Material is removed to create openings, and this same material is reused as structural elements, forming the legs.

The table is made from a single 30 mm thick solid aluminum slab. Thirty-two openings are cut using waterjet technology. No material is added; the object is produced entirely from the original slab. Through these perforations, the solid mass gains a sense of transparency. The top and bottom surfaces are finely sanded, while the edges and openings retain the raw traces of the waterjet process.

In this process, ornament and function are inseparable. Decoration is not applied, but results directly from construction, allowing the table’s visual and structural logic to reinforce one another.

ÆTHER/MASS, Objects Where Function And Meaning Converge

ÆTHER/MASS is a Brussels-based design practice founded in 2022 by Davy Grosemans. Rooted in a belief in deep collaboration between designer and artisan, the practice explores what becomes possible when conceptual vision meets mastered craftsmanship.

It emerged from an understanding of collaboration not as a division of labour, but as a shared act of creation. At its core lies the alliance between designer and maker — an exchange that expands possibility by drawing on skills refined through years of dedication.
