VASES DESIGN BY MILIA SEYPPEL

VASES generates the associations of machinery and industrial architecture. The use of straight lines, shapes and sharp edges creates an industrial profile. This aesthetic renders them difficult to produce, testing the material clay to its limits. Although VASES can be reproduced as they are manufactured in (industrial) forms, they still are basically unique, formed, burned, polished and finished one by one, always different color marks, always individual. VASES is to act in the antagonism between industry design and handcraft production and to visualize a new synthesis: handcraft produced industrial forms and objects. 
Vases are being produced by Karakter Copenhagen

CHAPEAU DESIGN BY MILIA SEYPPEL

CHAPEAU DESIGN BY MILIA SEYPPEL

CHAPEAU understands serving food as an aesthetic, even a poetic act and becomes a game of forms. CHAPEAU is a set of porcelain bowls, which can be used to store food, serve such dishes as soups and dips, keep candy or anything else inside. CHAPEAU consists of two different bowls with two different tops, which can be inter-exchanged. One can choose and combine different sizes combining flat or high bowls and tops. The different volumes make it possible to serve or preserve different dishes, enable to keep different types of food warm and hygienically protected.
CHAPEAU are being produced by Lyngby Porcelain
