Hand-knit coat hangers are saturated with porcelain and fired,
burning-away the yarn, becoming a fossilized trace of the original.
What remains are fragile mementos of daily rituals and domestic activities.
Objects that contain and evoke opposite notions at the same time:
function and dysfunction, beauty and ugliness,
creation and destruction, remembering and forgetting...

Their next stop was Made, a store specializing in work by emerging Canadian designers, where they were smitten with an unconventional light fixture called Shoe Toss. Designed by Jeremy Hatch, it had lifelike porcelain running shoes with lights inside and wires for laces, slung over wall-mounted electrical cables that resembled outdoor power lines.
“It’s beautifully crafted and very witty,” Ms. Moss said. “It’s like an urban joke: when you live in a city, you always see running shoes up on the wires.”

ShoeToss
From ominous to wistful, the ubiquitous sight of shoes over a power-line inhabits
many roles in our collective imagination and urban mythology.
Cast in porcelain, every detail of the tattered shoes are preserved and frozen in time.

Shoes can be added, removed or repositioned along the cables as the owner sees fit.
This work will be installed at MADE during the Toronto International Design Festival 2011.
Azure Magazine's Top 25 Designers
25 young designers who are leading the pack
Who is the future of design? Here are the individuals and teams whose work stands out for its originality, clarity and purpose. Our selection was made more complex by the abundance of youthful ingenuity all over the world. That said, “young” is relative. Ran ging in age from 26 to 40, our picks are at various stages in their careers: in school, just taking off, or on the brink of international acclaim. We’re spotlighting emerging designers who will soon be on everyone’s radar as they reinvent their professions, bring in new tools, re-evaluate old connections, pare down, gear up, and lead the movements that will transform our surroundings

New directions 2010
From thenational.ae
The most prevalent of the new currents is the shift towards craft in design: taking traditions like knitting, appliqué and embroidery, mouth-blowing and hand-throwing, to different levels. At its simplest, you'll see beautiful hand-embroidered or cut-work textiles, while elsewhere, it's a matter of pushing the boundaries of craft completely. Examples include the work of Ricochet Studios in Vancouver, which toys with our perception of ceramic, or the glass designer-artist Jeff Zimmerman in Brooklyn. The former has created a stir with its porcelain milk cartons (similar can be found at The ...

An accumulation of interlaced candleholders.
The formal geometry and pattern of ornamental
arabesques are discarded in favor of random chaos.
There is no front or back, top or bottom
candles support the holder in any direction it is flipped.
(prototype recently shortlisted for Designboom's 'Beyond Silver' competition)
candlestick
Each candle holder is individually hand pinched
from soft clay and glazed with bright gold luster,
fetishizing the mark of the maker.
