Anotace

Not long ago, porcelain, glass and ceramics were almost exclusively used tomake ostentatious objects best suited for display in grandmother s cabinet. Butnow these classic materials are experiencing a renaissance. Today, they are increasinglybeing utilised in playful ways by a new wave of designers and artists,who are inspired by Modernism s clear forms as well as an ironic depiction offigures, kitsch and the Romantic. Armed with these influences and an expandedrepertoire of forms made possible by technological developments such as rapidprototyping, these designers and artists are manifesting their creative visions inunconventional objects made of these fragile materials.Fragiles is an eclectic collection of such contemporary work. This book presentsindustrial applications made from porcelain, glass and ceramics such as theexclusive, futuristic tableware now in use in avant-garde restaurants around theworld. It also features artistic glass objects by Arne Quinze and Jerszy Seymouras well as striking porcelain products by Jurgen Bey, Marcel Wanders and JaimeHayon. In addition to these projects by renowned creatives, Fragiles also containsan exciting selection of recent cutting-edge work by emerging talents.The examples shown in Fragiles range from the experimental to evocative retroinspiredreinterpretations. The spectrum and quality of these innovative projectsshows a current generation of designers and artists just how relevant andchallenging working with these traditional materials can be.
