These images show that dark colored walls are very stylish and doesn’t necessarily have to be cold.

I love the white ceramic coffee pot in the image above. This handmade coffee pot is from Sargadelos. This Spanish label is one of Europe’s most unique porcelain design and creation companies, with more than two hundred years of history closely linked to the development of Galician culture in all spheres of creativity. The coffee pot, and a matching tea pot, is available from Le Souk.

Digna Kosse graduated cum laude at Design Academy Eindhoven (The Netherlands) in 2009. Since then she is working as a free-lance designer. I love her ceramics project ‘een menselijke maat’.

menselijkemaat2.jpg

Digna: “People are consuming more and more. All materials and resources we are using, are not in proportion to our own bodies, and our size in relation to the planet we are living on. For a long time, the human body has been the measure for many things, f.i. distances and weights. In this project, my body becomes a measure for consumption.”

menselijkemaat3.jpg

Digna measured all parts of her body in volumes (litres)and these volumes she has captured in a series of tableware. On every bowl, cup and dish an engravement is placed, that says which part of the body and which volume fit into it.

You can easily revamp your white china (from IKEA for example) with a porcelain paint pen (which you can find in a craft store). Once finished, you just bake it at 150`C for 35 minutes and you’re done!

Aren’t these ‘spool vases’ designed by Mara Skujeniece gorgeous?! Based in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, Mara designs furniture and interior products, specialising in ceramics. Central to Mara’s work which takes much of its inspiration from her Latvian origins, is the tactility of material, honesty in expression and a well thought-out process.

mara3.jpg

The series ‘Spool’ vases was inspired by the forms and structures of industrial yarn bobbins used in the weaving or knitting of fabrics. Varying in size, texture and structure, the family of vases is made of white porcelain. There are currently seven different models available. All vase are handmade in The Netherlands.

blueware collection by studio glithero

bluevase1.jpg

Anglo-Dutch designers Studio Glithero have created a series of vases and tiles decorated with shadows of plants captured on photosensitive chemicals. Called Blueware Collection and produced for Vauxhall Collective, the surface decoration was produced using a technique similar to traditional blueprinting.

bluevase2.jpg

The floral patterns on the objects were created by attaching plants to their surfaces before exposing them to light, leaving the areas in shadow underexposed.

Studio Glithero are members of the Vauxhall Collective, an initiative by the car company. Works for sale from Vauxhall Collective. (via Dezeen)
