UNIQUE PIECE
DINING VESSEL
Amethyst stone, Aluminium
Dining as a custom began, as assumed, since men created a community. From its very beginning, it is commonly a custom of sharing, being together, merely. Whether it is for the sake of a daily necessity, feeding.
A kind of celebration, or a romantic dinner for two, it is in fact a ceremony. For which men invented & incorporated so many varied accessories & utensils to grant the participants the possibility to unfold all that it offers. From practical dining vessels which allowed the sharing & eating of the food easily & pleasantly, to atmosphere influencers such as a central fire around which all could gather.
Candle holders spread between the presented dishes to see & be seen. Flower vases, chandeliers hovering above the table, & more. When placing aside the mere necessity of eating, this ceremony holds from sensual experiences of smell, flavour, sight, sound, to the practice of communication, closeness, at times with a dash of intimacy. We have chosen to highlight its festivity & by our vessels to bring forward two aspects. The one is the aspect of sharing (all our vessels are made as sets, there is no fitting item for the solitaire dinner/eater) & the other is the manifestation of sight & touch, hence directing the spot-light to colour, form, structure & all that the eye is capable to grasp.
After all, the eye is the first to feast.
Info use & instructions:
These tumblers accompanied by a housing-holder which is the remenant of the stone it is made of. Both, tumblers & holder should be carefully handled.
The tumblers are protected by a layer of natural food safe oil, hence do not wash in the dishwasher, but rather by hand with delicate soap & a soft sponge/brush.
Recommanded to clean as soon as possible after use.

Studio DO
Based in Antwerp, Studio DO is a stone cutting atelier founded by Dana Seachuga and Octave Vandeweghe. These two creatives work independently: Dana as a jewellery maker and Octave as an artist. For Studio DO they joined forces and share their creative visions and expertise.
Driven by their affection for stone cutting, they research the material and cultural role of (gem)stones within the realm of functional objects. Using basic interventions, shapes and aesthetics, they try to search for the minimal action necessary to give a rock a (traditional) function.
Studio DO works on design projects and takes commissions related to stone, art, design objects and jewellery. Label & Labour stand along each other as one, becoming inseparable.
