Domestic Totems 2022

What if when not in use our tableware sets could become sculptural decorative elements for our home, instead of being hidden away in a cupboard?

 

Domestic Totems is series of  sculptural tableware, a set of“modular” pieces that, when assembled together, function as sculptural decorative elements. At the same time, when taken apart, they can be used as a tableware set, for  daily use (cups, jugs, plates, vases…).

​

This collection wants to rediscover tableware as the centre of our personal as well as collective rituals: a series functional sculptures which remind us of the importance of treasuring mindful daily rituals, being it your first coffee in the morning or indulging yourself with a special snack, let’s celebrate it as an art.  

​

Domestic Totems started during my residency at Numeroventi in Florence in 2021 and is an ongoing project.
