    Väärtus is about value and pride. Arthritis is a problem occurring with our aging population; the need for medical aids to perform everyday tasks is apparent. Current assistive devices are clumsy, undependable, impermanent, poorly made, unhelpful and ugly. People who require aids don’t want to use them.

    vessels is an exploration of shape, repetition and functionality (or lack thereof). These pieces, slipcast in various shades of grey, represent the same shape repeated in multiplied form, over and over. Vessels is, overall, a commentary on the design process and the constant need for function. As a designer it was interesting to try deliberately to create a series that defied function and instead focus solely on form and aesthetic.
