As the brain child of Brooklyn-based artist Fernando Mastrangelo, MMaterial is the only outdoor furniture collection we’re eying right now. Mastrangelo, who was once artist Matthew Barney’s assistant before breaking out on his own, is a seasoned sculptor who has been utilizing natural casting materials (like sugar and salt) for over a decade. By redefining our perception of cement, he hand-dyes the materials used for MMaterial and then brings in different aggregates for the indoor and outdoor designs, using everything from sand and brass to glass and gunmetal for his massive furniture collection.
