Oak vessel by Konrad Koppold

Vessel  /  Geometric   Conceptual
 
Selected Finalist at the LOEWE FOUNDATION Craft Prize 2022.

This vessel’s archaic form speaks to the tradition of German Kunsthandwerk and plays with asymmetry, turning on four shifted and inclined axes to introduce geometry into a natural form. Guided by the grain and characteristics of the wood from the root section of a mature tree, the vessel is ebonized using an iron-staining technique that deepens the color, finely sanded inside to produce a smooth surface, and brushed outside to reveal the living structure of the wood.
