The small open water vessel is designed as a domestic artefact: an object that turns a practical function into a ritual gesture. Its proportions are guided by the same architectural logic as the larger piece—containment, balance, and a sense of grounded presence. A quiet ridge line sits in the silhouette like a threshold, organising the form with restraint. Handbuilt by pascale zintzen (oikos estudio) from matter edit’s creative framework and finished with brushed experimental glazes using wild pigments, each vessel records the slow time of making. Variation is intrinsic: no two surfaces resolve in quite the same way. London-based studio matter edit, working across antiques, design objects and material culture, and barcelona-based ceramicist pascale zintzen of oikos estudio present *artefacts of shelter*, a collaborative ceramic collection exploring architecture, anthropology and the origins of dwelling. Rooted in a shared interest in material culture, history and form, the collection reflects on how objects have long shaped—and been shaped by—the ways humans live. See less
