3 3: Get the flowers out This  ceramic  object  by  Rens  in  collaboration with Cor Unum, is actually a set of four, a big and a small bowl and two vases. Linking seamlessly on top of one another, the series ‘Reddish’ used an innovative colouring method: all items were put upright in a shallow bath of liquid red pigment. Without human intervention, the colour would slowly make its way up through the material creating this distinctive appearance. €744 for the full set www.madebyrens.nl
