Not for this Athens-based architect. Katerina Kamprani&#8217;s latest project turns design convention on its head by reinventing everyday objects as functionally obsolete.<br \/>\nHer collection, &#8220;The Uncomfortable&#8221;, sees mugs, cutlery and cleaning equipment reimagined as intentionally inconvenient utensils. Re-injecting humour into design, Kamprani describes her work as &#8220;design with personality&#8221;. &#8220;All the new information about User Experience and User Interaction that I learned during [my studies] inspired me to do exactly the opposite,&#8221; she explains.<\/p>\n<p>With razor-sharp wit, Kamprani identifies the functional essence of any given object and warps it into obscurity. The results are impractical, unusable, but sharp as ever, demonstrating a whimsicality that is guaranteed to put a smile on your face.

Although it happened unintentionally, it seems to me like this watering can has a personality of its own, and looks back on itself, like an introvert watering can. Or one that refuses to water the plants!&#8221; Since the production of the prototypes, this has changed &#8212; &#8220;I have a new favourite, the engagement mugs. Mainly because it was the most challenging to construct and in the end it worked! I loved the challenge!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>See more of Katerina Kamprani&#8217;s designs at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theuncomfortable.com\/\">theuncomfortable.com<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Contemporary design \u2014 innovative, efficient and convenient, right?
