BELLS & WHISTLES
2025
The Bells and Whistles collection explores the essential character of non-essential features. The phrase "bells and whistles" is both metaphorical and literal: metaphorically, it delves into the
necessity of ornament, questioning what is truly essential versus what is merely decorative; literally, it refers to the forms and material techniques that draw directly from the traditional craft of bell-making.
Bells and Whistles celebrates the art of embellishment and its absolutely essential character -cause what's a chair without (shiny) legs or a drawer without a (sculptural) knob?
The collection was developed in collaboration with TORO Manifesto
