family crystal titanium cutlery, product, 2019purposefully designed not to match; instead, the distinct pieces are an ode to the differences among the human race. Manufactured by Architectural Titanium, each piece has gone through a rigorous production process to create an end product that is both incredibly strong and light. ‘As people pair up the different forms in their daily lives, they can imagine various shapes of love too.’
ever since childhood, we
are accustomed to using or wearing things that come in pairs. a pair of shoes,
a pair of gloves, a pair of cup and saucer; the list goes on for the objects
that we pair for their visually identical identity or familiarity. eventually,
you would become prejudiced against using two objects that have different
shapes and colors as a pair. well into the adulthood, we tend to think that the
person with similar skin color and background is your love mate, almost like
when pairing things. as if, defining love in its normal form as being a couple
who resembles each other.
today, the tendency to ostracize people with different appearance and
background is increasing at a serious state, especially due to issues of war
and refugees between countries and religions. then, such tendency is easily
expanded to the social phenomenon of raising guard against any person from a
different culture. as a counteraction, we would like to experience naturally in
daily life that people of other nationality, race, and religion can very well
be the person we relate to, we love.
for this project, we designed a cutlery set which reflects various characters
and different shapes. for people who are used to using the same shape of spoon,
fork, and knife in their tableware, we would like to propose a cutlery set
composed of units that look different in shape, such as round spoon and square
fork. ss people use more different shapes as pairs in their daily lives, they
would naturally imagine relations of various shapes of love and gradually get
used to them.
