It shines so beautifully…

What others might consider kitschy and over-the-top is just the right kind of opulence for Annegret Streu’s art objects and functional pieces. She gives new life to found objects from the street or old factories, adding them to her growing treasure trove—her very own “playground”—from which Streu creates glittering curiosities and shimmering functional ceramics.
