Naive Tableware

The Naive Series is a growing collection of handmade Tableware in clay. The series is inspired by doodles and sketches on walls of urban landscapes where Vanja lives (in Shoreditch - London, where  hipsters like to leave their marks). So on these simple and raw cups you can see some marks and doodles left behind by Vanja. The raw, rough look and feel of the collection is another expression of Vanjas ever-obsessive search for the beauty in texture and the imperfect.

The tableware is created by slab building, which means folding flat clay slabs into 3d objects. Creating functional and quirky tableware for a Modern Mad Hatter Tea Party.

Margarita chair - Rough & Ready Collection

Margarita is the newest member of Rough and Ready collection. Rough & Ready is an experimental furniture morphology inspired by exploring potentials of the imperfect, human, unpredictable and the unfinished “finish” look aesthetics. Drawing from techniques of art, it explores the intuitive material application and mixing mediums as natural patina formations. Tailored cured sheets of wool felt are assembled and tightened into place with rope, forming seating elements. The wool is embedded with rubber providing the surface not only with aesthetical patterns but also structural integrity. 

Available per order.

Mr Easy XXL chair - Rough & Ready Collection

This special edition of Mr Easy was a private commission, created much larger and with a few modifications.

Wonky Pots Series 01

These vessels are celebrating the so called accidental aesthetics series, showing off the beauty of the imperfect, asymmetrical, human. Like things in nature: corals or stone formations in oceans or mountains come about by multiple conditions and accidents of their environment, these objects are celebrating the aesthetics of combining different materials and techniques. Felted objects as the base provide a soft platform as a 3d canvas for play with texture and graphics achieved with different resins. 
The 7 Wonkys present series One, but be on the lookout for more members.
