‘A sensitive and playful goblet composition draws attention to lost materialities. Fragile materials – barely visible, perhaps only tangible deep inside a pocket – find their place on a small shelf. Somewhere between exhibition openings, the unpacking of artworks, and celebrations, goblet–shaped forms begin to swirl in. When reflecting on utility and function in design objects, we forget the act of flirting with the very material we shape. What seems like an accidental adhesion hints at a new narrative already unfolding – an evening after an exhibition opening, a large crowd of guests, the silent fall of shards. This is whispered to us by barely perceptible, fragile covers/sleeves.’
