About Especially_For_You.MGX
That architect Amanda Levete’s chromed bowl resembles a piece of mangled scrap metal—or perhaps a necklace one would find in the MoMA store—is part of its intrigue: The private, handwritten message “this is designed especially by me for you with love” has been expanded into a 3-D form that hides its meaning from everyone but its owner. Levete offered the design to Materialise MGX because the complex twists of each letter and the gaps they create would otherwise be murderous to realize, even by hand. “Especially For You is completely freeform, without any geometric logic,” Levete says. She ups the thematic ante by proposing the bowl be put to very private use as a bedside condom holder.
