My GFs run a site called toggle.co.nz in New Zealand where they sell 100% NZ made craft pieces by local artists. Some of the artists come from a fine art background and create limited edition works especially for toggle. I'd love for you to check it out and send some feedback to Shelley and Esther who run it! Best, Kat Hey Nicholas,

I would generally agree with your observations on craft, functionality, and art. Where would we be today without the efforts of artists/designers of the Bauhaus - the inspiration behind so much contemporary design and critical debate of the modernist era. The one criticism I would have of some contemporary, limited edition design - and particularly furniture, is that it really isn't very functional beyond its' aesthetic value. I'm not an expert in this area, but it seems to fall into the same problem that some modern architecture is guilty of - that on paper it looks very impressive and convincing, but in practice, it just does not do the job it is intended to do. However, as design, it still becomes very desirable and in the case of furniture, jewelry, ceramics, etc, collectable. There is much out 'there', that is interesting and exciting, but as with any piece of art or craft, it may not necessarily work in your home - looking incongruous within a more modest or mainstream design. Lots to talk and think about, but not enough time now I'm afraid. An interesting and considered article. I would generally agree with your observations on craft, functionality, and art.
