Leander is a stool to lean on, inspired by exoskeletons and the search for the minimum structure needed to support a body.
Ash wood, turned, mortised, partly steam bent.
The Crying Knife is a knife for onions, that cries to keep you from it.
The hollow handle filled with water, shedding a drop with every cut,
that neutralises the onion’s acid before it reaches in your eyes.
Out of pressed porcelain.
The Radiator Flask is a cooling element made of clay, which in dry, warm climates is able to cool the surrounding air through evaporative cooling. The elements are bisque fired and filled with water, which is transported to the surface by the porous clay. The areas of darkened clay indicate the fill level.
When warm air flows around the objects, the water evaporates by absorbing energy from the air and thus cooling it down.
The modular design allows for self-contained objects, as well as standing or hanging spatial structures.
By translating the form and production method of finn radiators into clay, a high surface-area is achieved.
This way an ancient cooling method is made more efficient and accessible, while conveying the importance of ancient knowledge for dealing with today's environmental conditions.
