Somewhere between Gaetano Pesce and all that Dutch Design are Sebastiaan Straatsma's Dustcollectors:
Inspired by objects and shapes who at first have a dual usage--function and decoration--these pieces are based on the classical vases you normally see on antique cupboards. They have the vase function, but are hardly ever used that way. They are status symbols of the past and used as decoration, their real function switched to collecting dust and being beautiful. So why not be honest and make them totally decoration and dust collecting.
