A different point of view
When the prompt was set to ‘Kitchen Inspiration’, I was worried ‘What should I do this time?’So I started to look for the most ordinary and always used things, I think… it was tableware (like bowls or dishes). I decided to work inspired by them. The tableware are kitchen utensils
Atomic Chairs
