GONE.ARCHIVE

[Q&A] I’m slowly working my way toward recording another longer video this time more audio-focused and more you-focused. If there’s ever been something you wanted to ask me but didn’t get the chance, now’s a good time. Drop your questions or thoughts in the comments. Not sure yet if it’ll be a live, a series of short clips, or maybe a newsletter with each answer but we’ll figure something out. I’ll pin this post so we can gather a good batch.

This design feels personal - an iconic Brutalist building from the greatest city, my city, Kraków. Hotel Forum, but on you at all times. Made for @alightlost_ online soon.

Working with this material raised one question we couldn't ignore. What happens when the constraints are different from the start? Traditional leather is defined by what the hide allows. Thickness, grain, flexibility - all inherited from an animal raised for a different purpose. You adapt the design to the material. With lab-grown leather, those variables exist upstream. Density, structure, surface behavior - set before the material takes physical form. That's not refinement. That's a different conversation entirely. We're exploring it. Functional objects where the material is defined by the object's requirements, not the other way around.

THE OG-OG, working on new designs for @alightlost_

We work with materials that perform. Schoeller, Stotz, Dyneema - engineered to withstand conditions. None of them prepared us for this. VML, Lab-Grown Leather Ltd. and The Organoid Company reconstructed collagen sequences from 66-million-year-old T-Rex fossils and grew them into a material. The total yield fit on four A4 sheets. They sent all of it. It has a character unlike anything we've handled. Dense, primal, operating on its own logic. Construction led by Anastasia Bogonos - every decision shaped by what the material allowed, not what convention expects. The material led. We followed. The hardware was designed by silversmith Michal Danny Nowak. Each element cast in sterling silver - the strap adjuster formed using the lost-wax method, making every piece inherently unique. The buckle reads almost geological, embedded with natural black diamonds. Additional elements cold-forged into a structure echoing a DNA sequence - a quiet reference to what this material is. Prehistoric protein sequences, wartime performance textiles, artisanal metalwork. One object. Now on display at Art Zoo Museum Amsterdam.

Wjechalibyście w taki prehistoryczny drip? Torebka autorstwa @enfinleve z hardwarem od @dnygw stojącego za marką @gone.archive to absolutny przełom w kwestii produkcji alternatywnych materiałów z pomocą zaawansowanych technologii.

Smoothing up the erroded texture after setting the sapphires, cause i care about you, that's why.

Finally, totally new objects will be available soon. ALIGHTLOST.COM

Rastrakk in both gold iterations. Which one you like more?
