Collection @Daniel Rozensztroch
What does being a collector mean today, and what is the purpose of their search? For Daniel Rozensztroch, a collector is someone who has an eclectic point of view on objects, all kinds of objects, allowing for a better understanding, through “accumulation”, of their use, stories, cultures, or certain forms of expert craftsmanship, and thus an enhanced appreciation of their particular beauty. This approach features an unabashedly compulsive aspect.

Braided glass bottles
These bottles and flasks covered in wicker-like plastic are typical of certain parts of the great plains of northern Hungary. These are artisanally made products from the 1950s, 60s and 70s. By that time, their makers had abandoned traditional methods, using natural fibers; rather, they were looking for new, different, recycled materials. And so, they ended up making frequent use of telephone wires. These bottles were made to store wine, oil, and a variety of distilled spirits
Stone sculpture - See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil
One-of-a-kind pieces restored from old foundations, such as this ancient horse, with its simple style. Thus, set atop an unfinished wooden sideboard, it reminds us, in all its minimalism, of the passing of time and of the venerable craftsmanship of Chinese artisans.
