silverware presently louise's fixation plays with common designs, combining comparable objects, then rethinking them to subtly create new interpretations. therefore, challenging how you perceive and use her work. this can result in a new relationship between user and object.
in louise's objects, functionalism meets reinterpretation, creating a modern collection of tableware, with a visual geometric language. her designs aim to change our behaviour and interaction with the everyday object.
'the meaning of things lies not in things themselves, but in our attitudes to them'.

jewellery with a design background fixated with pushing the boundaries of functional objects, louise's obsession with how we view and interact with an object continues with her exploration to adorn the body. jewellery allows her to explore the human form more intimately.
using her pure, geometric design aesthetic, and unique connection of silver and stainless steel, louise chooses to celebrate the body's form.framing, isolating, and exhibiting the chosen parts.
