DESIGN FOR LUXURY & CRAFTSMANSHIP

Chun Deng – Gaze

by Chun Deng

Gaze explores the optical relationship between water, glass and graphic patterns. Composed of a carafe and a glass, the set is covered with precise, restrained parallel linear motifs. When water is poured into the vessels, the refraction of the liquid disturbs the apparent order of the graphics: the lines shift, overlap and intersect, creating a dynamic effect. The object is activated only through use: filling, pouring and drinking transform a static motif into a changing visual experience. Between scientific experiment and decorative table art, Gaze treats water not as a neutral content but as an optical medium, transforming an everyday gesture into a delicate moment of perception.
