KINRADEN X LOU CHARRIER FOR ARK KOLLEKT

A sculptural object in Italian Light Bardiglio Marble, shaped by intention and intuition.

In a quiet collaboration shaped by dialogue, process, and shared obsessions, architect and creative force Lou Charrier and KINRADEN’s Creative Director, Sarah Emilie Müllertz, have created a sculptural stone object exclusively for ARK KOLLEKT.

Born from a desire to explore the space where design becomes sculpture and utility gives way to form, the piece is a study in contrast: weight and softness, precision and imperfection, stillness and potential. Carved from Italian Light Bardiglio Marble with perfectly sharp edges and surfaces sanded by hand to a silken touch, the object is unapologetically impractical. Its shape is disproportionate. Its function almost absent. And yet, nestled in its form, a small hollow — carved slowly, intentionally into the stone — holds a singular piece of jewellery. A pause. A gesture.

“We wanted to create something that exists only for its presence,” says Müllertz, “and still invites interaction.”

In the end, the object becomes something more than design. A relic from the future. A sculptural anomaly. A conversation piece.
