Narcissus Vases
2017

Being inspired by the socialist GDR architecture of the original exhibition venue in 2012, the Henselmann-Tower that marks the gateway to Karl-Marx-Allee, I composed geometric forms using terrazzo and mirrored glass to create elaborate objects. Their name Narcissus refers to the partially reflective and partly transparent surface of the glass and the project came to life as a collaboration with Atle Gerhardsen and Angelika Taschen with flower arrangements by Mark Colle. The viewer is able to look inside the vases, where the flowers are reflected and multiplied many times. In 2017 as part of the exhibition Vases & Vessels at David Gill Gallery, a new edition of Narcissus Vases made from Italian Terrazzo Rosa Perlino and Rosso Levante, polished stainless steel and smoked Parsol glass was presented.

Seubert

is a product design studio in London (UK).

When he first made his now signature wicker and aluminium stools and benches in 2018 for a show at the Hepworth Gallery in Wakefield, German-born (1986, Forchheim) Tino Seubert found that they opened up a whole new design philosophy for him. They became the starting point for his future projects, which all revel in the juxtaposition of the organic and the industrial and enjoy the exploration of unconventional contexts. For Seubert, the organic is often a welcoming entry point into his work, with people from different countries drawn in by familiar traditional craft elements, only to be tantalised by the clash with sleek, precise industrial design. As a designer, he thrives off an energetic participation in the processes that go into making his pieces: whether it’s wood and stonework or metal machining, electronics or anodising aluminium by hand, Seubert is always obsessively engaged with the detail of his creations.
