Interesting coral-like patterns.

Post-modern reference a bit tired.

Fling: I disagree. These are experimental objects, named after the Wedgewood. You don't expect ur grandparents to buy Starck's collections rite? If Dezeen posts a very functional item or architecture, u guys wud dub 'em boring still. I guess it's those who still stick to functionalism who's ancient, say, Adolf Loo's children? This guy's majoring ceramic, which means he's more an artist, and as much as I believe a design must be functional, I can't find a single 'design' word in the excerpt. Most importantly, it's how you analyze each project. This is a transitional project, experimental and thought provoking! Emerson: I agree. Fling: I disagree.

And if you design something like this it's worse than the original. Only a brain older than my parents, say late 19th century, can come up with something this bourgeois, which totally lacks of creativity and intelligence. Stap back in the past. Real antique is better Emerson: Yes, my parents use Wedgewood. And if you design something like this it’s worse than the original.

Past or present? This is a fashion item. Do you really think the fact that it cannot hold liquid is an oversight? Are you people insane? Has anyone ever used a Wedgewood item for anything?

The perforations display the intricacy the system is capable of is my interpretation. That the creations of a bygone era were chosen as a demonstration should be taken metaphorically, rather than literally as an attempt to produce a usable item. ;-) Ancient proverb say, “One small wind can raise much dust.”
