Combining concrete and silver


These pieces of functional tableware are designed and made by Victoria Kershaw. I really like her interesting and unique combination of materials, in particular, silver and concrete.


In an interview with Kershaw she states that:
"I quite like to challenge people's preconceived ideas of materials, and silver already comes with quite a high value, whereas concrete can be seen as quite cheap. But when you're working with them in a different way or put them together, you get a totally new style of work. Inspiration for my work can come through derelict sites where you find things like concrete and run-down areas, and then working with them in a different way to make them more precious."
