FORMUFIT PVC Becomes Art at the Crest Hardware Art Show
Matthew Michael Warren, a designer and sculpture artist based in Brooklyn, NY, showcased his hardware-themed art installation built entirely from FORMUFIT Furniture Grade PVC products at the Crest Hardware Art Show.
The annual Crest Hardware Art Show, part of Crest Fest in Brooklyn, is a month-long celebration that merges creativity and community by exhibiting works crafted from materials found in the store itself. Warren’s piece stood out for its technical precision and modern aesthetic—an architectural sculpture that reimagines PVC as an expressive artistic medium.
Transforming Function into Form
While many artists at the show used materials purchased directly from Crest Hardware, Warren took a unique approach—constructing a complex, M.C. Escher-inspired geometric structure from FORMUFIT’s precision-engineered PVC components. The design combined elements such as:
The result was a stunning combination of industrial symmetry and minimalist beauty—an art piece that showcased the versatility, strength, and modern appeal of FORMUFIT’s PVC line.
Warren’s sculpture was featured both as a tabletop and suspended piece, symbolizing the dual nature of PVC—structurally functional yet artistically expressive. His work was highlighted by NYC publications including Downtown Magazine and the Huffington Post for its originality and craftsmanship.
FORMUFIT’s Furniture Grade PVC has been used for countless creative projects—proof that durable construction materials can also inspire striking works of modern art.
