Stigmatised subject matter; burdening quietness; a table for 34. Here, 17 students from the Design Academy challenge conventions in a personal dialogue with tableware. This week the table is set for an open discussion regarding invisible topics that no one talks about, but everyone should.
In a maze of radically unique approaches, each ceramic set manifests an interest in personal narrative and material experimentation. The pieces aim to provoke thought and discussion about a range of subjects: from the harrowing stories of a Michelin star
