About the Item

Arkadiusz Szwed Bumps 2.0 Vase by Nów Designed by Arkadiusz Szwed Dimensions: D 16 x W 16 x H 20 cm Materials: glazed porcelain, cobalt BUMPS 2.0 is a set of ceramic objects that were created as a result of an experiment with a new, personal technique of porcelain casting. As part of the process, plastic balls are pushed under an elastic fabric, which is pulled over a plaster model, allowing the balls to be moved around freely - this intervention randomly shapes the form. This technique allows the formation of molds using a method similar to that provided by 3D printing tools, however fully analog. In his work, Arkadiusz Szwed tries to look for his own way, breaking existing patterns and schemes, introducing an element of fun and surprise to the entire design process, as a result of which he obtains very lively, irregular structures. A ceramic vessel, which is supposed to be functional, becomes a non-obvious object, a complement to the interior, intriguing with its shape, stimulating the imagination of the recipient. Artist, designer, professor. He represents a generation of ceramists who believe that the technological process should be intentionally and deliberately disturbed by the designer in order to obtain a form that shows the relationship between the process and piece of work. Szwed is involved in applied design and conceptual design, as well as education in the field of industrial design. His works are a collage of technical knowledge, sensitivity and creativity. He is a graduate of the Faculty of Painting at the Jan Kochanowski University in Kielce and Design Management at the Da Vinci Collegium in Poznan. For many years, he was a close assistant of Marek Cecula - educated under his watchful eye and gaining knowledge by witnessing the works of Modus Design, as well as accompanying him during the creation of Design Centrum Kielce and Cmielow Design Studio. At School of Form of SWPS University in Warsaw, he runs his own ceramics studio and is a professor in the domestic design department; Art Director of the Glitch Lab collective. His works have been shown at prestigious design festivals and exhibitions in Poland and abroad, including Designblok, London Design Festival, V&A Museum, Gdynia Design Days, Museum Europaischer Kulturen, and others.
