Design studio touchy-feely focuses on haptic design in architecture, that is how the built environment can offer bodies more heightened sensory experiences. One of their design projects include spoon beads, ceramic beads moulded with spoons. Inspired by the use of precious spoons in coffee and tea drinking rituals, touchy-feely used the negative space of the spoon and inverted it into a positive form.Even in the photos you can sense the smooth and tactile texture of the final form. I love the concept and overall look - beautiful and meaningful.
I hope you had a wonderful weekend...I'm slowly starting to get out of the blahs...it's this chilly weather!

I vote for spoon bead necklace plus katy elliott's teacup bangle idea. walking tea jewelry. lovely!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of turning a negative space positive... I wonder what else we could transform - the inside of a freshly emptied coffee cup, the curve of a dancer's forearm... although I guess you wouldn't wear those shapes around your neck - making spoon beads extra special :)
ReplyDeletehappy monday, lady.
I loooove those they are great. had a great weekend

these are so awesome! i almost thought, from that first pic, that they were hard-boiled eggs.
ReplyDeletei love how smooth and shiny they are.
Love these! I think because spoons are so connected with our childhood, we have a real love of that form and shape. It immediately conjures a soothing tactile sensation.
ReplyDeleteLove the idea to try other objects and yes, they do have a playful sense from childhood - good point!

ReplyDeleteThese pieces are fabulous! I love how they turned the negative space of an everyday object that you probably wouldn't think twice about into something so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThese are so simple and elegant!
ReplyDeletethankyou so much for the comments about our beads! it really made our day to see this coverage on your blog. they're also really nice to wear because they're weighty and all slightly different almond-like shapes. thanks again and greetings from aachen germany! - stephanie
