Reversed Volumes by mischer’traxler

February 19, 2012 — mischer, mischer traxler, traxler

Vienna-based designers, Katharina Mischer and Thomas Traxler balance handcraft and technology, context and concept in their design products, installations and experiments.

Reversed volumes are bowls that are shaped by capturing the imprint of a fruit or vegetable. The space between a vessel and a fruit or vegetable is filled with ceramic powder that becomes hard without being fired. After the original organic material is taken away, the bowl preserves the exterior imprint, allowing the user to visualize and experience the form from a different perspective.

Revealing hidden aspects in the everyday with insight and simplicity makes the work of mischer’taxler constantly surprising.  No wonder they were recently awarded the W-hotels Designer of the Future Award by Design Miami/Basel and W-hotels.
