PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Fold is a comment on memory, society, consumerism and a host of other massive topics. Referencing the way drapery has been used by painters to convey movement since the Renaissance, particularly in the sketches of Leonardo da Vinci, Fold is fascinated by the way fabric is folded depending on the particularities of the human condition.
Informed by a knowledge of art history, the collection narrates differences in a series of folds: a neat fold in the medieval Dutch portrait, a careless fold in that of a merchant sitting for a renaissance painter - these tell the story not just of a person's mood but also their historical moment.
These napkin rings capture and memorialize the act of folding with luxurious handcrafted brushed brass, celebrating the acts of the everyday through the ritual of dining.
