There is something soothing about the touch of clay. It is a material that comes directly from the earth, and it carries with it an organic warmth that cannot be imitated. Handmade ceramic vessels, especially those that maintain a rough texture and natural colors, connect us to nature even in an urban apartment. A combination of such vessels and vessels on shelves or tables adds a layer of raw softness to the design. These are the objects that give a home the feeling that it is alive.
