Utopia & Utility is where they combine the functional and the fantastical. Each object designed is handmade and unique, and their signature products are the ‘Stacking Vessels’. The Stacking Vessels combine several materials and makers in a unique object. Each piece consists of a set of individual containers, stacked together to create a sculptural vessel shape. Once disassembled each part becomes functional, serving as bowls and vases.
Pisara, ‘drop’ in Finnish, is a collection of two Stacking Vessels with various finishes, and an exclusive palette of pastel and vivid colours never used before. In the way a drop would blend the pigments on a watercolour canvas, this assortment takes inspiration in the versatile unity of nature. The piece consists of a set of two individual containers, stacked together to create a sculptural vessel shape. Once disassembled each part becomes functional, serving as bowls and vases.
Handmade in Europe, by individual craftsmen: handblown glass (Czech Republic), hand-turned & smoked wood (Germany). The materials then come to North Germany where they are fitted and assembled.
