Dum Keramik, a.k.a 'Silly Ceramics'

Founded by Malmö based designer Siri Skillgate, Dum Keramik which translates as ‘silly ceramics’ is a project with fun at its core. An antidote to perfectly polished ceramics, it instead offers shaggy-edged pots and vases with warped smiles applied as if they’re sliding straight off the stoneware.With an emphasis on small scale, sustainable production but utilising her experience as an industrial designer, everything is made by hand in her basement studio.

Look out for new products coming soon.

Face Vessels by Neal Drobnis + Degen

Designer Lindsay Degen bought one of these glasses at an art fair back in 2012. A few years on, her (clumsy) flatmate accidentally broke what had then become her prize possession. With Lindsay unable to remember who had made it, her partner started scouring the web, writing script, and algorithmically sorting a list of artists who had been at the fair – finally finding glass artist Neal Drobnis! It took a little persuading, as Neal had no intention of making more, but Lindsay managed to convince him not only to make her a new one, but to go into business with her so we can all quench our thirst in style too. Each charming vessel is unique – made from scraps in Neal’s studio and blown by hand. If that doesn’t put a smile to your face, we don’t know what will.

The next drop will be available on Friday 15 January, 3PM EST.

Nou Nou's latest collection

Jean Jullien and Jae Huh have been collaborating since their uni days. Meeting at Central Saint Martins in 2006, they began working on screen printed clothing and playful embroidered pieces together for fun. Those early days projects sparked something great, and now, alongside successful solo careers, they run NouNou – a creative label started in 2016 boasting apparel, jewellery and glassware. This ‘Button Eater’ jacket, with its cheeky pocket chomping down on the fastenings, is sure to cheer up its wearer, and anyone else they pass on the street.
