A Domestic Landscape

Victoria Wilmotte is one of the latest new talents to graduate from the RCA's Design Products MA course. Her work is an exploration around the themes of sculpture, drawing, gesture and the industrial process.

Speaking on her most recent work, 'A Domestic Landscape', Victoria explains the infuences and concepts that informed her collection of ceramics, table and stools.

"All that surrounds me is perpetually feeding me. My brain is taking pictures of objects, forms details that I see, consciously or not, everyday."

A total scenography that happens “around the table”: a set up of different elements, part of the scene. All is based on details, assembly and forms, constructed with simple materials such as wood, coloured metal, rubber...and ceramics. An Installation trying to recreate a personal vision, a universe, a global design language based on an industrial aesthetic.

A table, and stools, that represent a system developed by cutting and hitting square metal tubes to create a trestle system developed into other furniture, as a bench, and “gueridon container”.

A collection of ceramics, which is a pure exercise of form.
This collection of carafe is part of a research made around drawings and modelling. It’s an investigation about the 2d drawing, the elevations, and the third dimension through 3d modelling.
The material for the caraffes has been sponspored by wedgwood, it’s call “jasperware” (portland blue and black jasper)

The hooks are made from resin, they are the result of the same research into splitting, but this time the gesture is drawn on the computer.

A collection of objects, a family created as a small architecture. Recreating a personal vision of the “Art de la table”.
