The importance of interior design was brought into sharp focus over the pandemic. As we all began to spend inordinate amounts of time within our homes, we had to think deeper than ever before about how to make our space as comfortable and attractive as it could be. This deep consideration cultivated something of an obsession for us: an obsession with home ceramics.
Humble earthenware pots, vases, plates, basically anything that we could get our hands on. We’ve long since run out of viable shelf space, but there’s no stopping it. The power of ceramics to bring personality and joy to your interiors is completely disproportionate to their price (usually) and size.
So, while we’re thankfully not readying to head into another lockdown, we do expect to be spending more time at home over the coming months simply because of the cold weather and dark evenings. Below, we’ve rounded up 10 ceramics from SSENSE that will go a long way to softening the blow of the season change.
Lighting, as it happens, is another of our interior obsessions. This Siup Studio piece combines a beautifully crafted ceramic base and a frosted bulb for a soft, cozy light. Two wins for the price of one.
Why would you want a sleek, clean candle holder when you can get these irregular, textured masterpieces from LGS Studio? They're much more memorable.
Treading the fine line between cute and sinister, this Dum Keramik vase features two distorted smiley faces to the textures ceramic build.
Duo Lava Curved Tray Set
Trays are the underrated champion of home ceramics. When you buy them, it's hard to think of why you actually need them but trust us, once you put them on a surface in your home you'll naturally discover that they're perfect for something you never even though of. Loose change now has a home, so does that lighter you've had lying around, oh, and your keys. You get the idea.
This vase by Skinny is like no vase we've seen before. The gridded construction might look like it's an overcomplication of something that can be so simple, but actually, it's a great way to display your blooms. Slot them into the perfect section, and by the end you'll have a perfectly distributed bouquet.
Few lamps have as much attitude as LGS Studio's Temple Lamp. The spiky stem contrasts with its soft pale pink palette and the hula skirt that rounds out the design is a touch of playful genius.
In contrast to the uneven, gnarled textures of some of the pieces in this roundup, the Elexa Vase by Marloe Marloe is a satisfyingly rounded, soft piece of ceramic to bring a sense of calm to a corner of your room.
You'd be surprised by how much a good mug can change your life. Mid-morning hot drinks just hit different when they're housed in a mug that looks as good as this one.
It turns out that a carafe is the perfect amount of liquid for dinner. No, a carafe is not a standardized measure, but just try it out — it's never too much and never too little.
No kitchen is complete without some highlight plates, and Jars Céramistes Studio's Dessert Plate Set is every bit of a highlight.
