perfect pawson

john pawson bronze bowl from 2000 is flawless. manufacturered by when objects work [belgium], the seamless crescent with a continuous curve to the bottom profile of the bowl allows it to create its own effect when placed on a surface. finished in a patinated bronze surface, sand fill. grab it at moss online $845.00 US.

more picture perfect pieces by monsieur pawson himself can be seen at mantin gallery in beverly hills, california:

pawson reworked the candle holder. the exterior package is a simple wooden cylinder with storage large enough for seven candles topped with the solid bronze cap …that when opened becomes the base. when combined with a slender glass tube, the bronze element becomes the candle holder. a new spin on the hurricane lamp. genius.

the hip tray is simply described as the circle in a square, is a geometrical combination of white lacquer inner circle surrounded by a wooden square. distinctive.

my ultimate fave, the exceptionally designed vase is a superb example of balance. fashioned with a clear acrylic segment which houses a subtle metal container within its interior, obviously intended for use with or without. its brilliant figure allows the projection of the inner vessel to change according to the viewing angle. clever.

and don’t forget the american cherry wood furniture [solid or veneer] designed by the minimalist mastermind himself for driade in 2002 [the year our mini man was born ;)].
