At the beginning of the month, at the famous exhibition in Milan, the creative tandem of designers Boaz Cohen and Sayaka Yamamoto presented to the audience their handmade project called Coiled … Note that the collection of multi-colored jugs and vases was made under the strict guidance of the women of the South African province of KwaZulu-Natal not from woolen threads with knitting needles, but from beads, beads and wire, and is intended for the Swedish society Editions in Craft. This project is one more proof that everything ingenious is simple. And not only simple, but also very beautiful, exciting and informative, the authors of the Coiled collection note. A few pounds of beads, unnecessary bottles, packaging and boxes, a few skeins of wire and many hours of hard work all produce amazing results.
So, after careful processing, the former garbage turns into attractive, original vases, coasters, jugs and other little things that are useful in everyday life, which are pleasant to use yourself, and it is not a shame to give someone else. By the way, the authors borrowed patterns and color combinations from the aforementioned African aborigines.
This and other work of the tandem can be seen on their shared website BCXSY.

Ness and Beauly vases. Art vases by Graham Johnston
