The idea of co-creation.In the beijing hutong of Dashilar, Klaas Kuiken & Dieter Volkers asked a fishmonger around the corner, a butcher, a 79-year-old grandmother passing by, and a girl of 13 living nearby and all passersby, to each make a small teapot from a ball of clay. For Kuiken and Volkers, it is about personalizing what is usually an anonymous utensil, as well as about designing an archetype.
