The Contrast Collection is a series of modular vessels made through woodturning, metal spinning and hand finishing. The project developed from an interest in transformer toys and the way separate parts can shift, connect and become something new. This led to a collection that combines heritage processes with a contemporary use of material, bringing together warm turned wood, cool spun metal and coloured silicone bands. Each vessel is made from separate parts that can be mixed and matched, allowing the object to change through colour, shape, texture and feeling. The silicone band became the final connection, holding the pieces together while keeping the join visible.
