The comfort of iconography was a daily presence in DUSKSHAPED’s formative life, and it slipped into the bone structure of this brutalist-manqué piece. It reminds of the hopefulness of youth, when the world and dreams are huge, bigger than white clouds over the desert.
This piece is part of the collection “Bad Graces,” conceived and designed during a period when the designer lost the ability to walk. A lot of reading, a lot of dreaming, and a lot of musing on what it means to trust one’s body for daily use filled these months.
This stainless steel piece was designed for versatility; it can take on a tea towel, hand towel, a bunch of bananas kitchenside, or a current jewelry rotation.
Sustainability is the organizing principle, and the intention is for their work to be circular: cherished for hundreds of years, but circular nonetheless given a geologic time scale, the scale that matters. That is why DUSKSHAPED’s practice is centered on metals, the only common building materials that are systematically recycled and infinitely recyclable. Post-life recycling is highly encouraged via a return to any local metal yard.
Care: Wipe clean with a water-dampened cloth.
