For Archibald Godts (1990) and Theresa Bastek (1990) of Studio Plastique, we live in exciting times. Our current era is characterized by changes, challenges and wicked problems. Studio Plastique focuses on topics that range from resources to production processes, and always try to understand the materials they work with from the bottom up. In their practice, they are very aware of their role, impact and possibilities as a designer in reshaping the world around us. Studio Plastique sees the most value in using curiosity to question or lay bare the impact of larger systems and infrastructures, and are therefore known for research-heavy investigations into the material origins and wider technological infrastructure of our everyday lives.
