Ettore Sottsass insists that architecture does not simply enclose a space: it continues “outside”. Architecture touches upon outdoor space, permeates it.
He also says that the architecture of objects, the structure of their construction, must be unequivocal.
It is precisely the unequivocal nature of architecture that gives matter voice, that makes matter into magic, consolation, pleasure.
Just for flowers includes six little single stem vases, six little works of architecture in pewter: fragments of walls arranged to enclose hollow volumes, little undulating walls, slender cylinders supporting one another in an unstable equilibrium, creating repeated plays of light and shadow.
