Virtual Milan III - The Brutal Vessel
With the help of Google, I came across at least three different versions of this brutal, rough and earthy look in vessels being show at Milan. Made of various composite materials that always seemed to include resin, I'm not sure of the statement this trend is making, but this young designer wants us to "focus on simplicity and confront our views of modern civilization."
This series is individually sand cast by dutch design studio sjoerd jonkers. As opposed to the vessels in the previous post, this anthropological look does not make me want to touch, and that may just be the point??At the end of the day, except for people that are terminally trendy, we prefer to live with beautiful things.
