Aldo Bakker SET
Edition of 50
2018
Bone China
This work, entitled ‘Set’, is an art object produced in a limited edition of 50. Aldo’s unique sense of shape and form pervades throughout this work, it’s biomorphic twists and turns at once inferring the natural world, whilst still artificial. Aldo Bakker’s works are characterised by exquisite use of shape, material and colour, which are balanced in such a way as to explore the relationship between man and object. Or more precisely: the relationship between object and man.
Bakker comments: “I start with appreciation of elements to create a shape – an object that emerges from the combination of elements, becomes an entity, that slowly demands and starts to inform the process of creation. I want my objects to feel at ease. If there is room for a function, it is integrated".
Artist
Aldo Bakker
Aldo Bakker, born in the Netherlands in 1971, is a designer whose objects challenge the way we perceive and interact with the material world. Known for his bowls, pitchers, stools, spoons, and tables, Bakker creates works that blur the boundary between utility and autonomy. His practice is defined by an exquisite command of form, colour, and material, combined with an almost unsettling insistence that objects are not passive commodities but independent presences with their own integrity and character.
