CONJUNTO DE TRÊS TAÇAS EM PRATA, 2009
Edition: Leitão & Irmão;
Material: Spun silver





Shapes, practices and the cultural subtext of silver objects are put in a new context that is in touch with contemporary lifestyles. By virtue of the shinny effect of the curved surface and its tactile comfort, through the adjustment of the object’s scale to that of the hand, this piece hints at an experience of everyday pleasure, in contrast to the reverence with which silver objects were once handled.
