Designer/artist Bas Van Beek has made a new series of vases entitled Hyper Hybrid in collaboration with European modern interior design company Pols Potten. Van Beek who makes demands on his website that you “cancel your Wallpaper and Frame subscriptions and subscribe to DAMn!” also writes sprawling and thoroughly incredible essays on how Jim Henson’s The Dark Crystal is a “Reagan-era politico-social commentary” and the way in which it toooootally applies to product design.
In short, he is awesome.
These “Hybrids” are not so much an elegant coming together of genetic ideals, but a seemingly clumsy mash-up of two things that don’t go together. The results, like the above “Wolf Watering Can Vase” are absurd and hilarious.
