Utility and Presence
2026
This volume examines the ontological weight of objects made for daily use. Utility and Presence brings together five makers whose practices are grounded in restraint and care, arguing that usefulness is a profound expression of beauty. Through close observation, the book invites a reflection on how the discipline of making imbues objects with a meaning that deepens through the passage of time.
Utility and Presence by Glenn Suokko. A Studio Book examining the ontological weight of everyday objects through the lens of simplicity, craft, and the passage of time.
