Bureau Odd Matter Studio - two young people with a good imagination, otherwise they would not call the studio "Strange Affairs" (or "Wonderful Entities"). The duet has been working for several years on a series of Rocklike objects, performed manually using their own technology. New development - Mass - mass or "dough", for which Vordhek and Manassev mix cork tree and gypsum. Cork is soft and light, plaster provides structural strength.

In the production of bottle caps, wood waste is granulated. Mixing such granules of two sizes with plaster, the designers received a light bulk weight, which, like a jokes, was applied to the design of the tables. As a result, things turned out with an unusual texture, durable, lightweight, eco-friendly. And very brutal.
