RICCARDO DALISI








Constructed from heat-pressed acrylic (it has been heart-pressed on both sides - hence the shadowing effect). All the planes rotate around the central axis - each one had some significance to Dalisi and the art of drinking coffee (primarily the tactile experience as a reference to how you have to invert the Neapolitan Coffee Pot to use it).

This has been sitting on my desk for approximately 2 years. I used to do so much work with acrylic, to the point where my tutors informed me that I wasn't allowed to use it anymore. Censorship I say.
