Objects of Empathy, by Miya Kondo

“Functioning is not merely the function of things, but also their mystery.” - Jean Baudrillard

Objects of Empathy propose conceptual and aesthetic forms for everyday rituals with gesture, posture, handling and materiality. Ambiguous forms invite engagement and interaction creating a personal relationship to the object, and thus defining the functionality of the object.

These objects with no clearly defined function and with seemingly ambiguous meaning invite personal and subjective interpretation and reflection thereby giving them their symbolic value.

CHAPEAU, by Milia Seyppel studio

CHAPEAU understands serving food as an aesthetic, even a poetic act and becomes a game of forms. CHAPEAU is a set of porcelain bowls, which can be used to store food, serve such dishes as soups and dips, keep candy or anything else inside. CHAPEAU consists of two different bowls with two different tops, which can be inter-exchanged. One can choose and combine different sizes combining flat or high bowls and tops. The different volumes make it possible to serve or preserve different dishes, enable to keep different types of food warm and hygienically protected.

Paper cups/art by Cecilia Levy.

Finest Paperware collection by Rebecca Wilson. 

” The paper cup is an icon of the ‘throwaway culture’ and by imposing classical ceramic styling and transposing materials I aim to highlight and question our tendency towards wasteful consumerism.

These cups are hand-built from cast sheets of handmade paper. They come in two different styles derivitave of traditional ceramic aestheitics. The ‘Jasperware’ version emulates Wedgewood’s iconic range using stained dyed paper and embossed relief details in white. And the Dutch classic ‘Blue Delft’ is alluded to in hand drawn decals in blue biro.” - Rebecca Wilson

Lovely!

Hybrid (or should I say Eclectic) tableware collection, by Seletti

* I don’t like the way they combined the two parts into one, I would do it differently, but I do like the idea. It’s a great way of reusing old (broken) tableware.

Designers comment: The Hybdrid pieces may seem uncoordinated but they do look very interesting. Each half of each piece has its own story or pattern that meets the other different fraction of another pattern or story.
