DERZOST IS A BERLIN BASED STUDIO PRODUCING CONSCIOUS FUTURE ORIENTED COLLECTIBLE FUNCTIONAL OBJECTS WHICH EVOKE DEEP EMOTIONS.
DERZOST WORKS IN A FRAMEWORK OF TOTAL APPROPRIATION AS A CULTIVATOR OF NOWADAYS CULTURE.

TOTAL APPROPRIATION is the continuity of all cultures, the absence and at the same time absolute presence of patriotism, absolute receptivity and openness. Boundlessness of the cultural code through infinite integration.

TOTAL APPROPRIATION creates space for the birth of new MEANINGS AND INTERPRETATIONS.
a cultural field that has never existed before. the birth of the culture of the future.

DERZOST IS FOUNDED IN 2024.

DERZOST CONTAINS 4 LINES:
MAIN — functional art
by LORIN MENG
COLLAB — collaborations with artists
minimal — furniture
souvenir — small objects


derzost main
main line is CHARACTERIZED by the way of crafting, which is reminiscent of the CHINESE PHILOSOPHICAL APPROACH to art that prioritises capturing the essence of the spirit over merely replicating objects. LORIN MENG fully engage with the surroundings, immersing herself to feel and absorb their energy, which she then translate into the items you now have the pleasure of viewing. THIS MODE STRETCHES FAR BEYOND REPRESENTATION, enabling the artist to convey emotions and unseen, — or if recalling the first passage, “unregistered” forces.

derzost collab
collab line is a "dance floor" for our studio allowing continuous exploration and exchange with others. collaborations give a fresh air to both sides, artist and derzost. all collaborations are carefully curated by lorin meng.

Derzost minimal
minimal is a more or less industrial line, in which derzost explores the perfectionism and it's limits. we carefully minimise everything we can, leaving only the esense of character, but providing the highest perfection in every single DECISION.

derzost souvenir
souvenir is a holder of memory, an artefact, a symbol. it's a small object, yet having enormous value for the daily life.
