De Blanco is a series of porcelain cones that gives us freedom of choice in their function: lyng down, the cones gives the impression of being a market bag or fruit bowl; when stood on end, like a top; when put in a glass, they took like a vase for flowers, etc...utopia of a product, whose point of departure had no deliberate or particular function, other than its own impression, it shape as such. One takes the shape as interprets the funcion oneself, like a serendipitously found and pleasing object.
The cones were all cast from a single basic mould. The cones were made in various sizes and angles by adjusting the cut of the opening. The raw porcelain contrats with the inner glaze in natural tones, thus giving the series an elegant character.
