‘industry porcelain’ by gentle giants
italian design studio gentle giants (michael breschi) has sent us images from his latest project, ‘industry porcelain’. by using white porcelain, he has created a series of ceramic vases with gold metal bases. drawing form from art deco architecture, particularly industrial water and gas storage towers built during that period, these pieces pay close attention to the detail and cultural dimension of the structures. this collection pays tribute to the past work of highly respected german photographers, bernd and hill becher.
