We’ve been following the evolution of Martin Lesjak and Anastasia Su’s 13&9 brand since its launch in 2013. Since its introduction, they’ve partnered with many international companies, like Artifort, Buzzispace, Mohawk Group, Viteo Outdoors, and more, along with designing and producing their own products including jewelry. One such partnership is with Belgian lighting firm Wever & Ducré, which led to the Rock Collection, a series of lamps and tables made from materials that were intended for other purposes. The results are lamp shades made from razor-thin stone veneers and tables that reflect the shape of the lamps’ frame. For this Deconstruction, 13&9 gives us insight into how this collection is made.
