DESIGN DUO ELS Woldhek and Georgi Manassiev studied the MA in Design Products course taught by Ron Arad at the Royal College of Art (RCA) in London. In 2011, they became a couple and slowly started collaborating. Four years later, in 2015, they founded their studio Odd Matter and the following year won a prize at Design Parade in Hyères, south of France. Now based in Rotterdam, they pursue an experimental approach focused on stretching the limits of processes and surfaces.
