MDW—Everyday Rituals
Everyday Rituals brings together Dutoit, Nattier Ceramics and Bookshop by Uro to explore the intersection of design, making and daily ritual. The exhibition presents a new series of Limoges porcelain objects – a cup, small dish, tray and carafe – designed by Dutoit and crafted by Nattier Ceramics in Melbourne/Naarm. Each piece is designed with a quiet versatility, allowing function to evolve through use and routine, and is presented alongside a reading list curated by Uro to echo the exhibition’s themes.
