Special Mention Loewe Foundation Craft Prize 2024
Functionality combines with fragility in this coffee table crafted from 98 hollow bricks. Held in place without the use of glue, each brick can be individually lifted from the structure. A sense of playfulness is contrasted with the deep and muted color palette of the bricks, which have been slip-cast from porcelain and fired with a Tenmoku glaze. Plaster molds were used to cast each brick, punched with two holes so that they can be held in place with dowels. The tabletop sits on five sturdier bricks which are also built from porcelain, but using the slab method with an inner wall for strength.
