About

Kamea Devons is a designer, researcher, and maker with a deep-rooted connection to nature, having grown up in a picturesque mountainous village in Israel. His studies at The RCA, funded with the generous support of a full scholarship from the esteemed Clore Foundation, Kamea's work delves into the intersections of design, craft, technology, and culture. By integrating diverse disciplines ranging from cutting-edge technologies and scientific principles to dance, music, and spatial exploration, Kamea endeavours to unlock the boundless creative potential of the future while reevaluating the significance of the past.

Contained 1.0 is a dialogue between a designer and a glass artist and between mass production and local production. One of a kind on a systematic basis. Inspired by the idea of the city as an ecosystem, where the producers and consumers are part of the same system, Kamea contacted a glassblower friend. They started a dialogue about handicrafts and computerised methods. This conversation led to the experiment of combining metal laser cutting and glass blowing. The metal gives the configuration and the technical parts of the handle. The glass blowing gives the volume and capacity. After the blowing, the mould remains part of the final object.
