Voyage Voyage: A dialogue between cultural identities

Abstract [en]

Modern production technologies have fostered mass production and standardization of affordable goods. Luxury and culturally meaningful symbols have become common place and largely devoided of their significance. How is our cultural identity affected by this phenomenon? Yet it survives and transforms itself.

Voyage Voyage is a coffee set associated with different cultural identities. The set highlights the dialogue that exists between different cultures. The containers are inspired by blue and white porcelain; a material and technique created in China, imported into Europe, and then reinterpreted and appropriated.

The set explores how traditional patterns and decoration lends meaning and social value to objects. It acts as an incentive to start discussion and reflection around globalization and the standardization of our environment. It is an invitation to discover different cultures, their similarities and differences, as well as acknowledge them and reflect on our traditions and their iconic symbols.
