SUBER
Tableware conceived for the
XIX Biennale dell’Artigianato Sardo
(19th Biennial Exhibition of Sardinian Arts and Crafts)
Sassari (Italy), 2009


Fruit basket and dishes, table centrepieces. These Objects represent an attempt to redeem cork – natural and ancient material (of which Sardinia is extremely rich) having endless potencialities – from the mortifying and nearly sole role of material for touristic souvenirs within which limits it is nowadays banished.
The dishes, in both their square and round version, feature a sequences of waves, the depressions of which may hold different kinds of fruit, while the basket – devoted to take oranges, grapefruits or lemons – consists of a deep vase supported by an oxidized steel ring.
All these objects have been turned by the skilful craftsman Salvatore Sanna, from Senorbì (Cagliari).
