FAQ

CLSTR is a series of collectible ceramic fragments called GSTRs. Each one is hand-built, unique, and designed to be displayed individually or in groups. A fragment measures roughly 5 to 10 cm, is glazed and high-fired, and is individually documented in the archive.

A small group of GSTRs installed together is called a Patch. Patches are typically created in private interiors and function as intimate clusters or accents. When the installation expands to architectural scale — hundreds or thousands of elements shaping an entire surface or space — it is referred to as a Field. Patches and Fields are not different objects, but different densities of the same work.

Yes. Fragments can form small wall compositions or large-scale installations, depending on quantity and configuration. For larger projects (hospitality, public spaces, residential), please get in touch.

Yes. Each fragment is hand-built and numbered — shaped from a combination of gestures that never repeat the same way twice. No unit is moulded. Fragments can look alike, but each carries a unique number.

Roughly 5 to 10 cm across, nearly square. Weight varies by piece — each fragment is weighed and the weight is recorded in the archive.

For now, only high-fired chamotte stoneware. The clay body may change in future batches, but today every fragment uses the same one.

Because they are not industrial objects. Fingerprints, living edges, irregularities — these are the traces of the gesture that made the piece. CLSTR moves away from perfection; each mark is evidence of the hand.

Yes. Each fragment is signed and carries a unique number from 1 to 10,000. The packaging functions as the certificate of authenticity and contains the number and recorded weight.

Because no fragment is worth more than another. Selling by weight refuses the hierarchy that size or appearance would impose — each piece carries its own gestures.

Exactly. CLSTR is a single artwork, fragmented into 10,000 pieces. Each collector owns a part of it — not the whole. The work lives across all of its walls.

Physically, the work stays dispersed forever. Once — online, at completion — every GSTR will be brought together into a single virtual composition, the only moment CLSTR will exist as one work.

Yes. Each fragment is photographed, 3D-scanned, and documented. The archive is designed to remain online beyond the project's end, continuing to connect collectors and pieces.

Yes. Many people begin with a single fragment and gradually add more to build a Patch over time.

GSTRs are sold by weight, not by size. The price per kilogram may evolve over the course of the project.

The packaging functions as the certificate of authenticity. It includes the number and recorded weight of the fragment and stores flat — designed to be preserved as part of the CLSTR archive. If lost, a replacement certificate can be issued.

We currently ship across Europe. International shipping will come later in the project. If you're outside Europe and interested, email me at contact@clstr.art — we'll see what we can do.

A single nail or screw in the wall. No special tools, no templates. Each fragment hangs from a single point.

Yes. The composition is never fixed — you can add, move, space out, or densify fragments at your own pace.

High-fired stoneware is solid once on the wall. Handle with care during installation, as with any ceramic piece.
