  Bowl  1999

  Sterling silver

  The starting point for all of metalworker Ane Christensen’s tableware is a single sheet of metal. Her aim is to develop a three dimensional object from a flat sheet without adding or removing any elements. Japanese paper packaging influences Ane’s work, but a more important influence is the half finished or half demolished structures of building sites that she says can hold unexpected sculptural qualities.

  Ane graduated from the Royal College of Art and has since been involved in exhibitions in London, Denmark and Copenhagen, including more recently at Collect, V&A.

  Ane makes pieces in a variety of metals including silver, stainless steel and powder coated copper.

  Decorchement, Francois Emile. (1880-1970) He set up a glass house in Conches in 1902 producing exquisite pate-de-verre, statuettes, bowls and vases. He extended this range to encompass a rougher hewn surface with motifs of flowers and sometimes insects. His designs became increasingly abstract during the 1930s toward the outbreak of the Second World War; these were often executed in pate-de-cristal. Later the production continued although in a more restrained manner with softer semi-opaque and translucent colors.
