Flange vases
2015
A collection of 3 porcelain slip cast vases in chrome green, matte transparent glaze.
The flange is a often used detail in metal engineering, use mostly to weld or drill holes in for montage purposes, in the Flange vases it’s the literally the base for the collection.
The design of the flange, funnel and bullet vases are inspired by industrial machine parts, parts that are not particularly designed for its beauty but for its function, Egbert Jan intrepids this industrial language of the engineer and uses it in everyday object, a new kind of industrial poetry appears.
