Black Matter
black
monochrome
Architecture, furniture, and objects where black is a way of handling light. Charred cedar absorbing brightness, shou sugi ban walls, black concrete making rooflights readable, pine-tar timber against northern snow, scorched ash, bitumen sheeting. Chapels, cabins, retail interiors, chairs, fashion — black working at every scale, treated as an instrument of light rather than its absence.
