Pottery & Poetry / Color Collection

Colour as a language

Five colours connect a family of handmade ceramic objects. Change the combination, shift the proportions, add a new piece: BAUHAUS invites you to compose a table in your own way.

Current Exhibition - 10.10.2026 - 11.04.2027

Presented in INNER CHILD: Playing with Design at Artipelag, Sweden, curated by Lidewij Edelkoort and Philip Fimmano.

01 / A shared vocabulary

Colour changes the whole table

A red plate beside an ultramarine bowl creates a different composition from the same plate beside sky blue. With BAUHAUS, colour gives each object a role and lets that role change as the pieces move. The table becomes a composition you can keep revising.

Our palette brings together ultramarine, scarlet red, lemon yellow, sky blue and black, with the warm white ceramic body left visible between areas of glaze. Strong contrasts connect different forms without requiring every piece to match.

02 / A way of thinking

From experiment to everyday use

The Bauhaus brought art, craft and design into a shared field of experimentation. Studies in form, material and colour were part of a larger question: how could design shape the objects and environments of daily life?

BAUHAUS at Pottery & Poetry takes this connection as a point of reference. These five glazes are our own studio selection, rather than a reconstruction of one historical Bauhaus palette. Their relationships are explored through objects made to hold food, pass around a table and become part of everyday use.

03 / The individual object

A clear colour, an individual form

The colour fields are direct, while the forms retain the small differences of making by hand. A rim rises unevenly; a brushstroke ends before the edge; glossy glaze catches the light differently across a shallow curve. These details give each object its own character within a recognisable family.

Layer plates of different sizes, repeat one colour across a place setting or let a single contrasting bowl shift the balance. The collection offers a vocabulary; the arrangement remains personal.

INNER CHILD: Playing with Design

BAUHAUS is presented in INNER CHILD: Playing with Design at Artipelag, Sweden, curated by Lidewij Edelkoort and Philip Fimmano. The exhibition places play, imagination and making by hand at the centre of contemporary design.

For Pottery & Poetry, this is a fitting context for objects that invite people to experiment with colour and composition at their own table.
