Projects
BRILLIANT SHELF - "Brilliant Self" emerges as a vivid representation of a world and self enriched with diversity. Through the use of mirrors, the project unveils the intricate reverse patterns of metal plates, revealing an array of colors simultaneously reflected on the mirrored surfaces. This interplay of colors resembles the fluid blending of gases or liquids and is intensified by the mirrored backdrop, infusing the hues with a distinctive luminosity.
LIGHTNESS 1.0+2.0 - "Lightness" comprises a range of vases characterized by diverse shapes. These vases, infused with the influence of light, captivate individuals with their clever forms and evolving hues, instilling a sense of delight and tranquility while also sparking romantic daydreams. Setting them apart from conventional vases, "Lightness" offers a fresh emotional experience through its visual presentation and material exploration. This collection encompasses vases in four sizes: Yellow, Blue, Deep Blue, and Pink.
ROSY TIME - This collection comprises the Pink Rose series, alongside the Dark Blue Ocean and Turquoise Forest series. By infusing color into the interior of vases and containers, we create an ambiance where the soft pink glow permeates the vessel's inner space, offering viewers a serene and romantic experience in a delicate atmosphere. The combination of vase and tray features an intricate white hollow mosaic outer wall, crafted from ceramic or metal.
STRETCH COLOR - This series of vases underscores the designer's profound fascination with reshaping and redefining space through the prism of color. The dynamic interplay of color variations and shifting contours achieves a harmonious equilibrium between strength and hue, giving rise to an illusion of fantasy and wonder. These vases come in three different sizes, effectively illustrating how color strength evolves when stretched within a given space.
VASE NA 2.0 - Vases typically adhere to the conventional definition of containers with distinct borders, but not Vase NA 2.0. Crafted by Desz with the intent of exploring the intricate interplay between individuals and their surroundings, Vase NA 2.0 represents a conceptual journey encompassing lines, colors, and the very idea of seemingly conjuring existence from nothingness. Hand-painted with meticulous care, Vase NA 2.0 blurs the conventional lines separating decoration and artwork, pushing the boundaries of both art and design.
