A fleeting movement becomes a lasting object. Inspired by whipped cream as a symbol of indulgence, designer Barbara Palatin-Doyle transforms a transient moment into porcelain.
The soft, flowing form of Whipped appears as though it has been spontaneously shaped by hand. A gesture captured in time, bringing together design and function. More than a candleholder, Whipped is an abstract yet functional sculpture.
In her renewed collaboration with the Vienna Porcelain Manufactory Augarten, Barbara Palatin-Doyle demonstrates her exceptional sensitivity to porcelain as a material and her dedication to form and aesthetics. The use of matte white biscuit porcelain is an essential element of her design. Its fine, unglazed surface naturally captures the soft, almost velvety appearance of whipped cream.
The interplay of light and shadow accentuates the gentle contours of the form, revealing new details from every perspective. The result is an extraordinary design object that brings together sculptural expression and functionality.
