Daphna Laurens: Ziel

With a set of glasswork, especially made for the exhibition “Dutch Invertuals: Revaluate” at the Dutch Design Week, Daphna Laurens search a way to capturing the “soul” of the object, independently from methodology, technique and number of copies.

The profoundness with which a product is made is, when noticeable, of great value. Often, industrial production methods seem to make this emotional element disappear. Capturing the “soul” and retaining it in the object – independent from the used methodologies, technique and number of copies – that is the challenge.

As part of the Dutch Invertuals, Ziel was created by Daphna Laurens expecially for the exhibition “Revaluate”, during the Dutch Design Week 2013.
