Ulm Sugar Bowl
I wanted to explore what formal contrasts I could balance in a single object, particularly regarding interior vs. exterior.
The most obvious of these can be found in the mirrored concave & convex shape of the lid, which, along with its similar translation of peak & valley in the original Ulm School form, allows an affordance for a spoon. The semi-opaque acrylic allows a hazy gradient of sugar to contrast with the sharp highlights on the exterior.
Finally, I exaggerated the interior & exterior by frosting the inside of the bowl to play off the slick, smooth external texture. This also made the interior respond to the granulated sugar it holds, as it seems to have been abraded by it.
