Versatile Volumes

We surround ourselves with products because we have a physical or psychological need for them. Versatile Volumes is a reconsideration of a series of products for everyday use and their properties; a study of volume, light and perception. The abstraction of each of the products has stretched the limitations of their initial function. The open character of the products is more than a play with volume and light; the wider framework offers scope for different interpretations of their use. It also facilitates new forms of interaction between user and product.
