A ceramist that turns everyday work into play. This Danish designer has created a range of sculptural, innovative designs around a common idea: to unite form and function. He attaches great importance to the primary function of things and to the pleasure of performing everyday tasks. Here are some examples of well-known functions being used and experienced in a new way: his yellow colander, which functions both as a strainer and, in a single movement, a serving bowl. The juice jug with built-in citrus press, with its narrow spout holding back the pits and the pulp. The decanter’s round base and rolling motion make its contents come to life. The sturdy handle, which is part of the mug, rests on the table and is comfortable to hold. Tools for everyday life with innovation in form and function.

When the artist began her jewelry career there was virtually no tradition of handicrafted jewelry within which to work and few of today’s supporting and nurturing elements for the arts were present. Within this milieu, Margaret De Patta is further distinguished by being one of the few American jewelers whose work and ideas were allied to the then currently evolving ideas presented in the modern art movement. Her strong motivation to establish jewelry as an informed and personal expression of the highest order led her to become one of the leading spokespersons for the dignity of the mealworkers craft as it developed during the relatively arid environment of the thirties in this country.

This concise, easy-to-read, and informative publication explains why Willy Johansson is the driving force behind the centuries old Hadeland Glassworks in Norway. While working as a designer at Hadeland, Willy Johansson received many awards, some of which include a Diploma d’Honneure for his sensitively shaped vases, and a gold medal at the Triennale in 1957. Willy Johansson collaborated with his father to produce K-glass. Johansson’s trademark is the large whole form, with a firm sense of proportion in vases, bowls, and dishes.
