‘cuntrada’ is a collection of ceramic and brass objects created by swiss product designer lorena dähler. the project is an exploration using stone-pigments — sourced entirely in switzerland — which act as the main colorant in each artifact. the series is produced locally, securing their identity and representing swiss heritage. vessels can function as bowls, vases, etc, and come with a stamped brass plate to cover or otherwise adapt.
