The French-Danish design duo OrtaMiklos explores, among other things, how to push the physical limits of materials. Sumatra Orangutan is part of a series of objects that they made for the Bagnols Garden exhibition at the Functional Art Gallery in Berlin. They are inspired by animal species threatened by the sand extraction industry, and consist of sand-coloured pigmented cement that is poured into stockings and takes shape as it dries.
