Ceramics @Daniel Rozensztroch
Selection M&0
Why is there renewed interest in pottery today, both from artisan designers and consumers, who are newly fascinated with the use of ceramics and their long history? It’s all tied to one specific fine material, clay, as well as to certain artisanal skills and a desire to rediscover handmade objects, since mass retail has rendered these utilitarian products completely unremarkable and commodified. Daniel Rozensztroch is interested in the essential excellence of these objects, whether they are for everyday use or simply as collectibles.

Old rustic unglazed grey pots
THE SILK ROAD COLLECTION
Antique rural pots from Chinese artisans, with a truly contemporary look, in rounded shapes with (or without) two small ear-shaped handles. The grey, matte texture of these one-of-a-kind pieces in varying sizes also differs from one pot to another. -
Present Time - Stool
DRAGONFLY
Inspired by traditional jugs from Biot, these matte earthenware stools featuring a glazed upper section are crafted by “Le Chêne Vert”. A sort of gigantic goblet, as though they had been molded by the hands of the Gods, this pottery made in Anduze was created for storing citrus fruits. Here, they’re put to different use, as a table and a stool, though still respecting venerable pottery-making techniques. -
Polychromatic ritual potteries, Twa Uganda
KANEM
This authentic, spherical, short-necked pottery is adorned with textured embellishments crafted using appliqué technique (applied prior to kilning) and natural black, white, and red polychrome, with the help of carbon black, kaolin, and laterite. It is reminiscent of tribal cultures that possess complex artisanal skill, with a sophistication that is immediately evident. -
Oil bottle Cristasol
YUKIKO KITAHARA. TALLER KÚU
This Japanese designer was inspired by the iconic packaging of cleaning products from the Spanish Cristasol brand to create this cream-colored ceramic object, for use as an oilcan, in order to highlight the need to stop using disposable packaging. He has added an animal element to this object that makes us think of wild nature, reminding us of the urgency of saving the environment. -
Dashi Bowl
JARS CERAMISTES
Inspired by the traditional Japanese shapes so beloved of designer Pierre Casenove, these hand-glazed stoneware bowls are the result of industrial production that truly looks artisanal. Their simple shape and generous volumes make them ideal for the way we eat today
