“Lengthy research at the crossroads of sculpture and design has led to an object that suggests a new ergonomic approach: it fits perfectly into the hands, and is easy to turn and open. A product designed like prehistoric flints – the first ancestral design action – that simply called for chipping to make perfect tools out of ordinary stones.”
