Cain y Abel

The “Castilian style” and the Spanish “Remordimiento” style are two concepts referred to Spanish furniture deeply rooted in our culture and collective memory which served as a strong inspiration to Von Pelt. From their particular interpretation of Spanish popular tradition, Von Pelt has created, exclusively for the Machado-Muñoz gallery, a new collection of furniture and pottery called“Spanish Brutalism”.
Von Pelt is a collective based in Berlin made up by designers, creative and craftsmen from different countries. Somehow, their members are anonymous, changing depending on the project, which is carried out wherever required by the product. The only name that transcends is that of its founder, designer, and spokesperson, Desirée Mejer. Their pieces are characterised by the value of the craftsmanship and their uniqueness, made with handmade traditional methods. In their search for cultural roots and the best craftsmen, they worked the brass in tin workshops in Pedraza and found the best potters in Seville. The exhibition includes cupboards/bureaus, mirrors and pieces of pottery that have been created with rich and elaborate “ideological” aesthetics, essentially experimental and laden with irony. The show is formed by two sharply contrasting series, defined by the qualities of their materials: brass and ceramics.
