K.5.21 is an aluminum stool that goes back to basics. Its shape is inspired by an upright sitting position.  A horizontal seat, a vertical back and an inclined front.  Thanks to an exploration in thickness the stool is a contradiction of a large and solid volume that seems very thin and fragile.

How can we deal with tradition? How do we take advantage of what we have now? Project ‘Foliation Project’ (2022) plays with different time axes that the designer empathize. The images of contemporary advertisement and pattern of ancient celadon are both the trigger to celebrate tradition and explore the loss when faced with the changes in modern society.

Stemming from inspiration in isolation, I share my art so the world can make sense of its absurdity. With everything that digitalisation enables, it's tempting, almost too tempting to manipulate it and why not? We manipulate our lives every day as how we want it to look and art is just a reflection of your perception.

Abigail’s work investigates the impact our surroundings have on our well-being; from the buildings we live in, to the objects we fill them with. Taking inspiration from modern architecture, her design work explores the phenomenological experience of clean lines and simple forms at the intimate scale of sculpture. Most recently her work has focused on environmental impacts of design by researching biobased alternatives to traditional plastics.
