VASES conjures up associations of machinery and industrial architecture. The use of straight lines, shapes and sharp edges creates a mechanistic profile. This aesthetic renders them difficult to produce, testing the material clay to its limits.

 

Although VASES can be reproduced as they are manufactured in (industrial) forms, they remain unique - formed, fired, polished and finished one by one; fluctuating color marks, always individual. VASES is a dichotomy of industrial design and craft, visualising a new synthesis: handmade industrial forms and objects.

Approaching LED lighting from a different angle, handmade porcelain diffusers bounce the light off an ultra-matt inner porcelain layer; as a result, the light quality is much improved whilst keeping the luminance high. High performance LED modules are mounted invisibly on aluminium, brass or copper plates that also double as heat-sink.

 

Available in three sizes:

S (230x130x60mm, 2 LEDs)

M (290x210x70mm, 4 LEDs)

L (420x250x90mm, 5 LEDs)

 

Colour combinations white/white and lava/white. Custom heat-sink patterns and outer porcelain layer colours upon request.

A space-filling crystal maze? A three-dimensional contemplative sculpture? Tangible mathematics? An endless tessellation of space, consisting of 11-sided bisymmetric elements, handmade in bisque porcelain, interlocking in various combinations via neodyme magnets.

 

Available in three sizes:

S (8 elements)

M (12 elements)

L (16 elements)

 

Complementary elements and larger sets available upon request. Each set comes in a hand crafted wooden box with a soft protective inlay.

Probably the first kind of bowl that looks as good upside down :) Formal aesthetics are minimal surfaces, derived by virtually slicing drops of water at varying heights. The unglazed matt highly tactile finish contrasts internally glazed versions. The dual-colour effect is achieved with two slips cast into the same mould.

 

Available in three sizes:

S (230x130, various depths)

M (290x210, various depths)

L (420x250, various depths)

 

Available in unglazed Snow/Snow, Snow/Sky and Sky/Sky as well as glazed on the inside for use as snack, fruit and whatever bowl. Custom colours upon request.
