Blown plastic

H 48,5 x W 42 x D 20 cm

Used mostly by glass artisans, the blow technique is transferred to plastic, allowing the designer to create unique work pieces that occupy an unclear territory between Fine arts and Design, given its sculptural quality.

“It’s not industrial and it’s not craft, it’s neither art or design, something else in between yet to be defined (...) With Antimold, I challenged myself to explore the limit between industry and craft. I took what is to me the symbol of the industrial production - The Mold - and I broke it and reconfigured it's purpose, giving it a new perspective.”
