A fascination for the role that utensils play in daily life has led to research into designing jewellery according to my own design method. The utensils that we are confronted with on a daily basis no longer surprise us, we hardly notice them anymore. We are used to their shape and their seemingly flawless functioning. We assume that this is how they should look and forget to see why they are designed like they are. Ironically, this unawareness is the result of their perfect functioning and efficient design. The functioning is disabled by translating the utensils into jewellery. The vase, which is a jewel for the interior, suddenly becomes a jewel for the body.
