Homework Cookie Tin

Homework Cookie Tin
Polished

This work is called “Homework Cookie Tin”. It is in fact designed to be a cookie tin. The lid on the pot on top can be opened and you could put cookies in this. It would be hard to get them out though, because the lid is very heavy. The entire thing is made of polished bronze.

Design

Where is the line when it comes to what is art and what is design? This cookie tin was made as a piece of design by Studio Job. You could definitely put cookies in it and use it for what it was made for. But in the LAM it is placed next to artworks, does that make it art? What do you think.
