Goslo Studio
Alejandro Gómez Slok · contemporary
OVERVIEW
Alejandro Gómez Slok's studio, working between Ibiza and Valencia across art, design and material research. The method is explicitly hybrid: parametric modelling and 3D printing on one side, solid-wood joinery and hand finishing on the other, often in the same object.
Work includes the S3D printed chair, the TLP and ALN lamps, and sculptural chairs and tables in solid wood.
WHY IT MATTERS
A contemporary collision of parametric modeling, additive manufacturing and hand finishing—useful for the archive's digital/material axis.
CONTEXT
The studio's stated philosophy is design for permanence, pieces that resist trend and noise, and the practice is described as moving between the manual and the digital, the sculptural and the functional.
That combination is the interesting part. Additive manufacturing usually produces objects that look like their process; here it is one operation among several, and the hand finishing removes the giveaway.
WHAT TO NOTICE
- 01Where the print stopsOn the hybrid pieces, find the line between the printed geometry and the worked surface. That junction is the studio's actual subject.
- 02Parametric without the clichéThe geometry is computed but not lattice-filled or voronoi-patterned. The digital tool is used for form, not for texture.
- 03Wood and polymer treated equallyNeither material is the premium one. Both are finished to the same standard, which is unusual and is what makes the pairing hold.
CONNECTIONS
- THE DIGITAL AND THE HANDNOEMAR / Noelani Mattstedt + Marcel Bednarz
Both refuse to let a process become the style. Goslo finishes 3D-printed geometry until the print stops giving itself away; NOEMAR builds kinetic objects that are jokes and are also properly made.
