Objects With Opinions: Ronen Kadushin's Pieces - Yanko Design
"Each piece starts life as a flat sheet of laser-cut stainless steel, executed with Kadushin's signature Twist-Hinge detail, making them easy and intuitive to bend by hand. They invite you to engage with the designs and co-create pieces that are an aesthetic statement with an edgy commentary. It's a deliberate choice, not a shortcut. By asking you to participate in the assembly, Kadushin is making a point about who gets to be part of the creative process. You're not just buying a finished object; you're completing it."
"That philosophy runs through everything he does. Kadushin is a pioneer of Open Design, freely sharing his designs to promote creativity, personal expression, and a positive social and economic impact. He embraces a "from the machine to the customer" approach, where extra manual processes and finishes are minimal, with pieces self-produced in Berlin in small-batch runs from high-grade stainless steel. There's no bloated supply chain, no mass-market compromise. Just precision fabrication and a designer who has thought very carefully about what he wants his objects to communicate."
"The Pieces collection is an elegantly formed, humorously thought-provoking group of home accessories that highlight the tension between function and cultural narrative. The collection consists of three objects: a candle holder called Echoes, a tealight holder called Reality TV, and a Piggybank. On paper, that sounds like a fairly ordinary lineup for a home accessories range. In practice, it's anything but."
