Corrugated Textures And Circular Forms Characterize The Sculptural Works of Charlotte Kidger

Blurring the boundary between craft and industrial manufacturing, Kidger’s work focuses on the reuse and versatility of expanded polyurethane powder. Made with a signature mix of PU foam dust collected locally in and around London, along with hand-dyed resin, her sculptural designs feature uneven textures, irregular shapes, and stratified colors. “My side tables have often been referenced to Greek ruins due to their corrugated circular forms and broken textured edges,” the designer tells us. From the self-developed material to the molds and the final casting, everything is created in house—a lengthy process, which Kidger describes as “slightly unnerving, yet exciting,” due to the outcome’s unpredictability and uniqueness.
