Hadrian Pigott

Hadrian Pigott takes everyday objects and makes them striking by creating cases that will only fit them. They're all essentially useless but they have an air of luxury thanks to the materials that have been used. The solid, smooth, pristine exteriors of the cases gives them a sense of grace and makes them look as if they should be encasing expensive instruments. I like how he has mixed materials to make them more sensual, the exteriors make you want to feel their cool smoothness whilst the interiors are lined with velvet to make them seem more protective and warm to the touch, together the materials make the item extremely inviting and hard to resist.

I like the idea of something being encased and no clues being given as to what the case holds but when unveiled the interior is a surprise. Also interested in giving an illusion of something being held inside a case by vacuum forming a shape into the surface, the case would look like an average leather suitcase apart from the contoured surfaces then when opened it would house nothing more than the average suitcases items.
