Borderline
Adrien Rovero, Borderline
Adrien Rovero’s project reflects on how vases relate to the settings in which they are usually displayed. This project revives the technical effectiveness of détournement (derailing) to set the vase in a fresh context and hence give it a new form. Adrien Rover’s borderline vase is rather amusingly fitted with a workshop bracket, so that can be attached along the edges of tables.
