Trios in serie – serial trios

The design of the pieces in this trio is defined by the basic form which is the starting point of every piece. The temperature and atmosphere at which each piece is fired results in diverse shading in the materials. Their common basic form and colors connect the individual pieces into series of objects with functions yet to be defined.
