Take 5: Snake Bags, Spool Tables, and Crochet Shirts
"These stools from designer Dom Johnson are made simply yet thoughtfully, construction minimal yet meticulously considered. A relatively humble material, MDF, rendered in a satisfying thickness adds weight to the trio, each in varying heights and leg designs. Existing beautifully as separate pieces or together, each is finished with an unobtrusive oil that elevates and protects."
"Gungun He is a talented leather designer, working expertly with wet molding to create fantastical shapes with the ancient material. Here, she creates molds to form these stunning snake details, rendered in a beautifully treated black snakeskin. The Ouroboros Bag is paired here with a smart black base and gold hardware. He regularly pushes the boundaries of what we would consider traditional leather design, in a brilliant way."
"Charlotte Dualé is a ceramicist, lending her unique eye to people's interiors. This time, she was tasked with bringing a kitchen to life: pen holders, spice shelves, and hooks for hanging are all built into the tile in this ingenious custom kitchen. Functional even when not in use, the shadows formed by the friction between negative and positive space creates interesting conversation. Her work inspires thinking surrounding utility: what might be used, and when, allowing for further investigation of our built environment."
