bloque plaque

When does a material become more than just matter? A solid aluminium plaque marks the entrance to the bloque studio in Munich — born from a desire to treat material not just as a means, but as a starting point. The sign was developed through an open-ended casting experiment, embracing the strength and durability of aluminium while allowing chance and imperfection to shape its surface. This balance between control and unpredictability, robustness and atmosphere is central to bloque’s process. Even in something as simple as a nameplate, the aim remains the same: to let raw materials speak, aesthetics shine, and reflect the individuality of every project.
