Acquired by MUDAC!

We are very proud and happy to announce that The Object without a Story was acquired by MUDAC - Musée de design et d’arts appliqués contemporains in Lausanne - Switzerland!

They have now in their collection of glass pieces the prototype of The Archetypical Vase, together with the stories that accompany it.

We would like to thank very much Mudac for the great attention and care they had through all the process, especially the curator Bettina Tschumi.

Soon we will add pictures here, but if you are in Lausanne don't hesitate to check this wonderful museum!

Dutch Design Week 2010 - Onomatopee

During Dutch Design Week 2010 The Object Without a Story will be on show at the exhibition Pre -specifics: Access X! by Onomatopee.

This show is very special for us because it will accompany a publication and also it will be the first time we exhibit more than one object.

We are proud that The Archetypical Vase photo is illustrating the poster and folders of Onomatopee's program:

Here goes some more information:

Opening and book launch: 23 October, 19h

Dutch Design Week: October 23-31

Where: Onomatopee next-door, Bleekweg entrance C, Eindhoven

Tours: every dutch design week day from 13 to 14h

PRE-SPECIFICS: ACCESS X! not only showcases luring products, spaces and concepts by contemporary artists, designers, architects and others, but actually also provides insight into their strategies. The exhibition thus features both sensory works and accountable strategies and motivations. The accompanying publication offers further notions into designed culture's X: its productive conditions and modes of mediation.

This was a french month for The Archetypical Vase.

Apart from being displayed at Tools and in the pages of the most recent edition of AD France, it took part in the event "Maison and Objet", in Paris. It was part of the exhibition "Hybrid" by Francois Bernard.

The other good news is that the vase will have another exhibition in Holland, it will be just before summer, at the new National Glass Museum in Leerdam. This is very special, since the first prototype of the Archetypical Vase was made in the glass studio of this Museum.
