green cabbage boots 

Designer: Eleonore Joulin

Bio of the designer: 

born in Paris, lives & works in Brussels 

The work of Eleonore Joulin takes its source in the art history, gastronomy and architecture — among others — making unexpected links and giving rise to forms between everyday object and sculpture. 

She creates pieces between everyday object and sculpture. Almost each of them has an utility, even anecdotal, thus questioning the status of domesticity of art, but the long utilitarian tradition of ceramics.

short description: 

unwearable boots, approximetly size 37eu

The cabbage leaves are cast from a plaster mold and then they are cut and sticked together with a sewing boots pattern. 

The vase is coated with a chromium oxide slip, for green color, and with porcelain to lighten and create a softer appearance. 

The inspiration comes from the cabbage-shaped ceramic tradition that emerged in 18th and early 19th-century in Europe, particularly in Portugal.
