In life, you come across people who share your views and thoughts,
and the exchange of these views slowly brings about a personal
friendship and business partnership. Such a friendship has grown
between Tina Demsar and Gregor Vres, both landscape architects, and
me, and together we developed the idea of copper bowls. Tina and
Gregor with their vivid imagination and aesthetic views on modern
design create a series of bowls under the name Friends.
We met Marjan in his flower shop. He impressed us with his
distinctive style and untamed imagination. We often share the same
thoughts on design and space and this is how the story of vases,
motifs and objects generated in copper was born.
The forms, so unusual for this material, turn, rotate, are filled
with water, sand, a flower maybe, or glass. All of them are objects
set in a space to tell their story, to change and play different
roles. They can be shapes in water or sculptures, flower vases or
fruit bowls. But finally, the one who co-creates the bowls is the one
who takes it home and chooses and changes its content.
Sphere 1
Made of two identical halves. They can rock on their own in their
individuality, in their own rhythm, without disturbing each
other. Separated, they represent the female and male pole, but when
put together, they are one: a mysterious bowl of reconciliation.
Square stone
Combining two equal halves makes a case joined by a fine seam, and
there we have a case with an upper opening for a flower or some other
plant as the fruit of their unity.
Concept and design: Marjan Lovsin, Tina Demsar and Gregor Vres,
Landscape
Sphere 2
A perfect form made of two halves with a small gap for a flower or
a twig. Turning, rotating, playing with different sizes results in an
endless number of compositions of these regular forms.
Square
Square and sphere playing together create a different kind of
geometry. The form is rigid and soft at the same time, a contrast in
itself. It can be empty or full, a surface or a volume, static or in
motion.
