Elyse Graham Gives Resin Offcuts a Second Life in Meta Hardware
Briefly

Elyse Graham developed the Meta Hardware product line, creating resin knobs and pulls from previous creative projects. The process began with a custom table and expanded into matching pendant lights and hardware. Graham's first collection, Marlin, features oceanic hues, repurposed from past works, particularly the Lucent Coffee Table. The Meta Hardware line consists of four collections, each showcasing unique palettes. By casting, cutting, and recasting, intricate patterns emerge, allowing for unexpected surprises and a continuous renewal of materials.
We're using resin, which is supposed to be a casting material, and we're making it into a raw material. We cast everything into raw shapes; there's nothing final about them.
Each commission built on the last, resulting in unique, pattern-rich pieces that carry the DNA of the entire studio - offcuts, experiments, even mistakes - layered into forms made to touch.
The first Meta Hardware collection - Marlin - was created to complement Graham's Meta Pendants in Aquamarine. The palette is awash in oceanic tones, with sea glass blues and greens layered together to create luminous depth.
By casting, cutting, and recasting, we create complex patterns that are beyond anything we could have imagined. That's the reason we call it Meta Material: it's a material that we create to make material to make finished work.
