CORNER VASE
Continuously used since the 2015 Istanbul Biennial staging of Seductive Exacting Realism, this vase is made for softening cartesian corners and all spaces in need of curving. Corner Vase is made of mirror inox, featuring one large and two smaller oval openings for ikebana style botanical arrangements. A nail hole in the back of the vase secures it to the corner. Arrangements by Christian Alborz Oldham. Photos by David Born and Christian Alborz Oldham.

BY CANDLELIGHT
This candle marks the first collaboration between Yugoexport and Malte van der Meyden. The off-white color candle is reserved for Irena Haiduk's work By Candlelight (2020), a part of Remaster. The candles sit on six wall mirror candelabra and drip elaborate wax blooms. A peachy pink version is available here and serves as an oral prop for the artwork. It is made from canola wax cast, sand, and cotton. Photo by Malte van der Meyden.

NON-ALIGNED SIGNATURES
After the Bandung Conference, the Brijuni Declaration formalized the inception of the Non-Aligned Movement on July 19, 1956 with the signatures of Egypt’s president Gamal Abdel Nasser, India’s prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru and Yugoslavia’s president Josip Broz Tito.
Their signatures, gold plated in black enamel, were made on the occasion of Yugoexport’s re-launch in Paris in 2016. As alignments sharpen, these pins are a reminder of a third way. They can be sewn onto clothing or used as pendants. Photo by David Born.
