Ceramicist Basma Osama lives and works in Montreal, Canada. First known for her small series of handbuilt pieces, she has been devoting her time since 2006 to setting up Ceramik B., her studio for conception and production for porcelain tableware. Visit Ceramik B’s website to see her handcrafted and exclusive objects.

About the pieces: “Inspired by organic silhouettes, the pieces carry an invitation. Their shape and texture naturally find their way to the hand. Each piece is conceived to be a statement by itself and yet to smoothly mix with other pieces to make a color contrast or to complement the shape and the function. The colors are thought in such a way to enhance the lines without overriding them and to allow the pieces to adapt easily to any environment.”

panton’s plastic chair

Posted on March 12, 2009 by Danielle| 17 Comments


What do you think of the Plastic Chair? I never know what to think of this chair (too plastic?) but I do love them in this interior! Some background information: Danish designer Verner Panton spent many years thinking about how to produce a plastic chair moulded in one piece. Together with Vitra, he came up with the first prototypes in the 1960s and Panton Chair went into series production as of 1967. Unlike the cheaper Panton Chair Standard in solid plastic, Panton Chair Classic is made of rigid expanded plastic and has a lacquered surface.

I love this kitchen! It has a rustic charm but it still has a modern feel to it. This Victorian house located in Crouch End in London (UK). Tomorrow I will show you the rest of the house: every space is gorgeous! The old Aga stove is not only great for cooking but also gives a lot of warmth to the room.
