Many people find their true passion later in life. Ceramist Ann Van Hoey was an established industrial engineer before she started focusing on ceramics. She graduated the Institute for Arts and Crafts in her hometown Mechelen, Belgium, in 2006, and nowadays she designs splendid and innovative ceramic collections, including her latest “Étude Géométrique” (“Geometric Study”).

Swan Tableware Collection

Submitted by pavelina on Sat, 04/17/2010 - 10:57

Swan is a beautiful Bone China tableware collection with a strong visual impact, inspired by the uniqueness of Tchaikovsky ballet. Impressed by the gracefulness of Swan Lake, performed at La Scala in Milan (spring 2008), AquiliAlberg designers gave sinuous, dynamic shapes to this dinner service that remind us of majestic swans flying over the water.

Bird, flowers and special pottery

Whitney Smith fell in love with throwing clay on the wheel when taking a class at Cabrillo College in Santa Cruz, in 1994. She had a great teacher (how important is to have an intelligent mentor!), Dan Martinez, who trained her, and taught her handmade pottery basics. Then, she continued working for Sandi Dihl, a Santa Cruz artist, while taking anthropology classes. At that time she totally fell in love with this peace of art and decided to transform it in a full-time job. Whitney worked as an assistant for Bob Pool, while continuing to develop her own work, and began working as a full-time potter in 2000.

Loving vintage tea cups

Submitted by pavelina on Sun, 03/14/2010 - 22:12

This time obsessions: vintage cups. They all have something poetic, reminding you of ancient love stories, family affairs, big political reunions or delicate old times rendez-vous. They look good in your kitchen or even in your bedroom, with a candle inside (romantic and ingenious). One of our favorites is Lefton China Teacup from Etsy.

Yara Kitchen

Submitted by florin on Mon, 03/02/2009 - 13:46

The Yara kitchen from Cesar is defined by straight lines and continuous wooden finishes. Yara kitchen has a beautiful minimalist design (means that the Yara kitchen excludes the non-essential details, but retains the user-friendly interior). The Yara kitchen island or peninsula has neat included handles, and is topped with a combination of a Schock titan-white super-slim worktop, and a stainless steel cooking top that together highlights the minimalist ethic with a crisp, fresh look.
