Functional and totally bizarre… yes, yes, a thousand times YES! This is the weird and wonderful work of London based artist Ikuko Iwamoto. This is what I imagine finding if one were to look for sugar bowls and vases at the bottom of the ocean… GORGEOUS! Ikuko also has an amazing fine art practice that you can see right here, but I have to admit, it was those urchin-like containers that got me with their spiky fantasticness.
