Deriva y Trampa
Deriva y Trampa, a new body of work by Canoa Lab for TRNK, draws from Alfarería de Trampa—a centuries-old ceramics tradition from the designers’ native Valencia. Historically, these “trap” vessels, like the multi-spouted Botija Trampa, were crafted to mislead, spilling water rather than offering it.
Canoa Lab offers a contemporary interpretation with twenty one-of-a-kind pieces featuring extraneous openings, taps, and attachments. By obscuring each vessel’s intended function, form, craft, and material expression take precedence. Leveraging this history, Deriva y Trampa examines the tension between object and utility: when form refuses to defer to function, how does the maker honor both?
