Atelier Martis explores the quiet tension between nature and structure through objects that are both elemental and refined. With a focus on material integrity, each piece reveals the tactile beauty of raw surfaces shaped by human intention. Reinout Van der Straeten’s sculptural approach embraces imperfection, repetition, and weight, forging a visual language rooted in his self-defined “New Stone Age” aesthetic. Blending brutalist strength with artisanal care, the work invites touch and contemplation—bridging ancient instincts and contemporary design in a timeless, grounded presence.
