Flexible and soft hand formed vessels by The Mighty Bearcats
“The skin series vases are made of a heat sensitive plastic that when in contact with temperatures above 250 degrees will shrink in size. At first glance the vases appear to be made of a thin fragile porcelain, however once the vase is picked up it’s found to be soft and flexible.”
* Pratone Chair
Posted on October 21st, 2008 by alessio.
Pratone (that in italian means “Big lawn”) was designed in 1966 by Gruppo Strum (abbreviation for “architettura strumentale”, instrumental architecture).
Their main concept was partecipating to the social and radical protests of those years through architectural and design projects.
Pratone is a clear example of “satire” applied to industrial design.
In expanded polyurethane ‘foam’ painted with Guflac (waterproof paint). W:140 x D:140 x H:95 cm.
