Ridge Vase Big Off White from Muuto

Design

Studio Kaksikko / 2019 Studio Kaksikko is a Helsinki-based design studio specializing in ceramic crockery and wooden furniture, founded by Salla Luhtasela and Wesley Walters. The duo shares an interest in functional and discrete forms that highlight tactile qualities of each material, as well as the production process itself. They met while studying at Aalto University School of Arts, Design and Architecture, and collaborated on a wide range of professional projects under the studio name Kaksikko.

History

The original idea for Ridge Vase came up during a trip through different cities with a vase in mind in a search for details that would give it an architectural touch. Back at the studio in Finland, designers began hand sketching and making make-ups on paper and ceramics. With its vertical lines and unique shapes, inspired by a gateway to Paris, Ridge Vase presents a new way to lay flowers through a modern expression along with a scultural character when out of use. The Ridge Vase manipulates the oval shape through its refined kneading while adding the function of a small handle to use when moving the vase from one room to another.

Produced in

Portugal

Material

Faience - glazed from the inside and raw on the outside.

Production Process

Off White and Beige: Liquid ceramic clay is poured into a plaster cast from which the drawing is molded. The Ridge Vase is then polished with a damp sponge and shot at 1000°. After burning, the design is sprayed with water internally and sprayed externally with a water-based solution that contains the color mixture. Finally, the vase is taken to the oven again, this time at 1100 °.

Cleaning and Care

When cleaning ridge vase, we suggest avoiding all cleaning tools, such as cleaning sponges, that may become trapped on the rough surface of the vessel. If the exterior of your Ridge Vase needs additional cleaning, we recommend using a colorless brush, such as a nail brush, dipped in warm water. It is not suitable for dishwasher.

Decorative Complements

We suggest complementing the Ridge Vase Small Beige with a Ridge Vase Terracotta or a Ridge Vase Small for a more artistic, harmonious and complete decoration.
