The form of organic, playful, soft and smiley just give me
the feeling of friendliness. Also, with a glimpse of femininity, not too loud –
just in the right amount. The color of material she chooses play big part of love
to her, terracotta and white clay just giving the sense of welcoming and easy
to go with other objects around it.
The word ‘friendly’ I don’t feel much of that feeling from
other objects that I like, the objects Eny made are unique yet simple and easy
to mix with other objects.
Seeing it from maker point of view, it almost might be too
simple, the form, material and interior mechanism are nothing new, yet the most challenging part
is it’s scale as well as the way she play with that simplicity. Almost of the
time what I found challenging most is when I come up with new simple design, it’s
really challenging on how to push your project forwards base on what you have
previously. Eny has done it beautifully with the strong essence of her style
Sometime I doubt myself too much. Way too much when come the
time I design something simple, almost like fearing if other people would look
at my design and would think ‘she didn’t put her brain into this’
Thinking about it, Eny design consist only of Clay and lighting
which is simple and basic but what make it so special is that the essense of her
story telling and the community she’s in, also this was made 6 years ago where
ceramic furniture wasn’t a thing. In craft world, I found, they value a lot about people
behind the work. It’s important of who you are and how you hade the object. So
much so, this story isn’t much value in industrial design world, there people
focus more on how to solve problems and how to make human’s life easier. Craft
might focus less on that but we do appreciate more of the object and the life
of people behind them.
