Torio by Noah: A Canvas for Contemporary Life
The post Torio by Noah: A Canvas for Contemporary Life appeared first on IGNANT.
A sofa holds the conversations, gatherings, and pauses that shape daily life. With the launch of Torio, Berlin furniture brand Noah reimagines the essential piece as an adaptable companion to the ways we live now—sculptural, evolving, and open-ended. Developed over several years, the modular sofa is available in a shade palette created with Raw Color. Its launch campaign was shaped in collaboration with gallerist and curator Anahita Sadighi, who led the creative direction. As captured through the lens of Clemens Poloczek, Torio distils Noah’s forward-thinking sensibility into a statement piece that connects the practical and the poetic—and leaves room to grow.

Daniel Hölzl Reimagines the Architecture of Endings with ‘soft cycles’ at Berlinische Galerie
The post Daniel Hölzl Reimagines the Architecture of Endings with ‘soft cycles’ at Berlinische Galerie appeared first on IGNANT.
In the work of Daniel Hölzl, every ending is a nexus for new beginnings. His practice unfolds through recursive gestures—recycling, reconstitution and transformation. Through soft sculptures that give the hard edges of our built world fluid form, and petroleum-based composites that carry deep time and fossilised life, Hölzl explores impermanence and the cyclical nature of existence.

Q&A: Viviane Sassen on the Body as Symbol, Surface, and Story
The post Q&A: Viviane Sassen on the Body as Symbol, Surface, and Story appeared first on IGNANT.
Over the past three decades, Dutch artist Viviane Sassen has carved a singular path through the intersecting worlds of photography, fashion, and contemporary art. Known for her bold compositions, charged use of color, and intuitive treatment of the human form, Sassen has developed a visual language that resists easy categorisation. Her work is at once sculptural and intimate, conceptual yet visceral; often playing at the edge of surrealism while remaining connected to the body and its many expressions.

“History is a Battleground”: Zuzanna Czebatul and the Pergamon Altar
The post “History is a Battleground”: Zuzanna Czebatul and the Pergamon Altar appeared first on IGNANT.
Zuzanna Czebatul is interested in the way monuments shape and perform power. Through her sculpture-based practice, she distorts architectural forms and cultural relics—columns, obelisks, busts—to reveal and complicate the narratives they once held. In the bucolic calm of her Brandenburg studio, and later among shrouded objects and scaffolding in Berlin’s long-closed Pergamon Museum, Czebatul spoke with Ignant about one of Europe’s most symbolically charged monuments—the Pergamon Altar. Her fragmented reimagining of the Hellenistic frieze takes centre stage in All the Charm of a Rotting Gum, which opened at DITTRICH & SCHLECHTRIEM on the occasion of Gallery Weekend Berlin.

Maj van der Linden: Space in Motion
The post Maj van der Linden: Space in Motion appeared first on IGNANT.
On a small rise in Berlin-Mitte, a storefront with tall glass panes looks out onto the street. Blink, and you might miss it, but a second glance rewards the curious. Step inside, and the atmosphere reveals itself. Light moves across the room throughout the day, drawing out nuances of the objects it holds. The eponymous gallery of Berlin-based interior designer and curator MAJ VAN DER LINDEN reflects an ongoing engagement with contemporary craft and material culture. Connections build gradually, gathering momentum – evolving into new relationships and unanticipated forms. Maj came across the address by chance. “I spotted it through a shop window,” she says. “It had something of a doll’s house to it – completely open. As luck would have it, the owner came out. One thing led to another.” Since then, the space has become a framework for collaboration, hosting dialogues that reward close listening and ideas that unfold over time.
