Subject No. 1. Developed at the SONNEY laboratory

ARHOSE®

ARHOSE est une matière développée par SONNEY à partir de tuyaux d’arrosage revalorisés. Souple, texturée, singulière : elle conserve dans sa surface la mémoire de son origine.
Pensée pour le sac, le vêtement, l’objet et le mobilier.

Transformation protocol

01. PRÉLÈVEMENT

Flexible PVC pipes: production scraps, end of service. Each batch is sorted, washed, referenced.

02. CUTTING

Longitudinal cut, flattening, alignment. This is where the patterns are born: the line of the pipe becomes a stripe, its section becomes a halo.

03. SUMMARY

Pipes merge into plates. The surface retains everything: reliefs, veins, variations.

Spotting boards

PLATE I · STRIATIONS · vue de surface

The Stries pattern follows the object's shape with a play of lines and reliefs, unique to each piece. Macroscopic observation: longitudinal reliefs, color variations along the line.

PLANCHE II · HALO · coupe transversale

The Halo motif creates soft-edged round shapes, born from the pipe's cut. Like an imprint melted into the material. Each surface forms a unique design.
Traçabilité

Each piece is marked with its batch code.

A-B01-S1 → tube origin · color · pattern · batch

Two pieces from the same lot are never quite identical.
The code is engraved inside each object. More of a specimen tag than a serial number.
