About Ripples Tableware
Ripples is a collection of serving trays designed for use at home and outdoors. The trays explore perception and reflection, and they change the way a space is seen. The color of each tray appears to shift when the tray is viewed from different angles, which creates an interactive visual effect. The forms are made by three-dimensional printing and are then painted. Two sizes are offered, 40 by 40 by 3.8 centimeters and 22 by 22 by 2.5 centimeters. The collection uses an experimental approach to color and visual presentation.
