These ceramic design innovations range from elegant stoneware kettles to surrealist ceramic sculptures.
Standouts include the 'Kuru' sculptural bowl collection by Finnish homeware Iittala and British-Canadian designer Philippe Malouin. The bowl range consists of neutral accessories that are showcased in a variety of sizes, with each combining harsh edges with opposing round shapes.
Other ceramic design innovations to note include California-based artist Lorien Stern's handmade pieces. She is best known for her ceramic ghost vases, vibrant stickers, printed tees and more. Stern's ceramic ghost vases are customizable stoneware accessories that transform with every flower, leaf or succulent stored inside. Lazy Oaf and Studio Arhoj's collaborative collection is another standout, spotlighting vibrant streetwear from the UK label that is paired with the design studio's signature ceramic homewares.
