The design
Bowls, trays, switch plates, frames, candle cups and stranger things, all covered in spikes like the ones a magnetic liquid called ferrofluid makes.
On the bowls and trays the spikes are the feet. On the burr jar they're the husk.
The spikes grow out of the wall with no seam. Close pairs merge like wax.
Each piece has its own layout. The echinoid bowl follows a sea urchin, the murex vase a seashell, the areole vase a cactus and the votive a pinecone.
Only the legs touch the table. The insides of the bowls stay smooth.
