The softness of a pillow, captured in a robust material
By pressing a candle in a plastic bag with liquid plaster, the folds in the plastic bag create a soft ‘pillow’ look on the surface of the concrete. This school project was for an imaginary client. The assignment was to design something for on the table. The client was hotel Pillows located in Zwolle.
