Vera & Kyte

 

 More stuff from LDF 2013 by Vera & Kyte. Obvious heavy Sottsass influence here and I like the products; the collection of stools?.... tables?... perches? But what grabbed my attention was the painted granite pieces. Something brilliant about the quality of line produced when the paint is applied. Because of the slightly rough surface the edges of the line become blurred and occasionally bleed on to the horizontal surfaces. Final honing on the granite could have happened after the painting, producing a clean line but Vera & Kyte's approach to these was that of artist rather than designer. They are not that pre-planned, (designed) so there is room for evolution, meaning they do not feel like a product, just interesting objects.
