English artist Rachel Whiteread, the first woman to win the Turner Prize in 1993, has collaborated with French silversmith company Puiforcat on a new seven-piece silverware collection. Inspired by corrugated cardboard, the collection includes serving trays, a pitcher, tumblers, and napkin rings, with surfaces that mimic the grooves and overlapping corners of cardboard, as well as watermark-like concentric circles. The trays echo Whiteread's recent artworks, such as *Untitled (Silver Pallet)* (2023), a flattened cardboard cast in lacquered silver.
This collaboration bridges contemporary sculpture and luxury craft, highlighting Whiteread's ongoing exploration of everyday materials and their transformation into precious objects. It also continues Puiforcat's tradition of partnering with major artists, following a 2003 dinner set based on Donald Judd's drawings. The collection underscores how fine art can expand into functional design, bringing conceptual art to new audiences through high-end silverware.
