David Huycke BE
silver
collectie Design Museum Gent
In his work, silversmith David Huycke goes in search of natural elegance, artisanal perfection, and intense simplicity. Traditionally forged silver is worked with hammers that leave visible traces. In Huycke’s work, however, that so-called hammer-blow effect is almost invisible; you would only notice it if you touched the silver. The surface of these bowls is treated with acid. Consequently, they are almost white, and extremely sophisticated. The subtle colour nuances fit seamlessly with the austere shape.
