Inspired by Shaker craftsmanship and their practical values, this project blends tradition with modernity to craft a series of stainless steel objects. Each piece showcases nature- inspired sandblasted patterns, reminiscent of printmaking, while highlighting stainless steel's practical attributes—sturdy, lightweight, and low-maintenance. Utilizing sandblasting as an industrial surface finishing technique enhances the material's value, presenting a contemporary twist on Shaker craftsmanship. This collection reflects my personal touch through functional yet artistic designs, meant to be appreciated in everyday life.
“Make the parts you cannot see as well as the parts you can see. Use only the best materials, even for the most everyday items. Give the same attention to the smallest detail as you do to the largest.” - Shakers millennial laws -
