The gallery is a physical manifestation of the pair’s shared ideas about material, form and restraint. “Our relationship with Lost Profile spans almost seven years, during which we’ve placed Oliver’s work in a wide range of contexts,” says Gurtler. “That experience has given us more than an appreciation of the brand’s aesthetic. We understand how he conceives pieces, how material combinations and geometries emerge in his practice and, crucially, how his work enters into dialogue with the spaces they inhabit. The gallery was designed to extend that conversation.”Rather than a traditional showroom, the gallery was conceived as a calm and processional space. The interior unfolds through a sequence of portals and chambers, guiding visitors through moments of focus and release. Limewashed walls in warm, neutral tones create a soft backdrop for the pieces, and light is used as a primary design element, shifting across surfaces to define edges, textures and volumes. “We treated the pieces as sculptures or artefacts, shaping an environment that references places of reverence and contemplation to evoke a similar experience,” says Gurtler.
