Belgian architect Vincent van Duysen created a series of pots for the brand When Objects Work. Each of the pieces in the Pottery collection is made up of two elements, combining a ceramic container and a sandblasted oak lid. These smooth, understated pots are almost archetypal; drawn from the abstract world towards the physical. Pottery containers are delicate objects that beg to be touched thanks to their sleek and perfect shapes and details. Curvature and contour remain the same throughout, while diameter and height vary. In collaboration with When Objects Work, architect Vincent van Duysen designed these sleek, refined wooden and ceramic bowls as decorative objects intended to work in perfect harmony with your kitchen or dining room table.
When Objects Work is a Belgian company founded by Béatrice Delafontaine who produces items developed by the best designers and architects, and who share the same philosophy as the brand: simple and timeless shapes adapted to the object's primary use. Collaborators must follow the brand's guidelines to create everyday objects that are "useful and beautiful". The majority of products in the collection are made by hand or using artisanal methods. When Objects Work produces everyday objects that are then given a fresh look thanks to exemplary finishes, materials, and high-quality production.
