Los Angeles-based home goods brand OWIU Goods is an extension of its design firm OWIU Design, and it has just presented the MATTER collection. The team translates the calmness of natural landscapes into the form of handmade ceramics. All of the pieces are made to elevate daily rituals, as each item is made with an organic structure and complete with earthy textures.
This invites users to interact with it mindfully, whether it is sipping a cup in the morning or setting a table. It acts as a tactile reminder of the bond we humans share with nature by encouraging a slower interaction for more intentional living. MATTER is thoughtful as the curated selection includes a hand-thrown matcha bowl, a whisk stand, a cup, a donburi bowl, dishes, candles, a ceramic canister, and a plate.
