With Cartapesta, Studio Bovti continues its exploration of material contrasts and perceptions of weight.In this ongoing series, the Stuttgart based studio examines the tension between what appears Solid and what seems Fragile, between Permanence and Transformation - Paper becomes structure, Stone becomes movement.
Founded in 2024 by Inna Strokous and Marius Schwald, Studio Bovti explores the dialogue between craftsmanship, material, and narrative.Their work moves between art and design, between sculpture and function — where the object becomes both a tactile experience and a vessel for reflection.At the core of the studio’s practice lies a fascination with contrast and transformation: how materials carry emotion, and how perception can shift through touch, weight, and light.
Every piece emerges from a process of direct engagement — shaping, layering, refining — where intuition and material intelligence define the form.
In the ongoing series Cartapesta, natural stone meets papier-mâché: what is usually fragile becomes structure, what is heavy seems to float. The works challenge ideas of balance and permanence, inviting a reconsideration of what endures and what transforms.
