Deriva y Trampa, a new body of work produced by Canoa Lab for TRNK, is inspired by Alfarería de Trampa (Trap Pottery), a centuries-old ceramics tradition from the designers native Valencia, Spain.

Historically, the artists idea was to trick or confuse. The most recurring Alfarería de Trampa form is the Botija Trampa - a bottle designed with innumerable spouts, resulting in spilled water rather than quenched thirst.

Canoa Labs contemporary interpretation maintains a different motive. The exhibition features twenty new, one-of-a-kind works adorned with extraneous openings, holders, and taps. By obscuring the objects primary function, artistry, craft, and form prevail. Leveraging the history of Alfaria de Trampa, Deriva y Trampa investigates the relationship between object and utility. If form does not need to relegate itself to function, how does the craftsman prioritize the two while properly celebrating both? See less
