John Pawson
When Objects Work
2006/7
 
 
The origins of this collection of objects lie in a new Cistercian monastery in Bohemia designed by John Pawson and the idea of creating a set of essential equipment for the monks’ refectory.
 
Each implement or vessel is designed for the best possible experience in use – for visual delight, to feel good in the hand and to be ideally fit for purpose.
