dear designboom reader,

ceramic works may take cues from long-standing history and personal interpretations.

a three-tier ceramic wedding cake that acts as an architectural pavilion in a historical manor’s garden pays homage to the old days the same way a collection of terracotta pieces honors greek antiquity by drawing its sculptural works upon bust statues and ionic columns.

a renowned video game series that transforms its characters into traditional japanese artifacts by artisans including the living national treasures relishes individual perspectives similar to the BDSM-infused vase anthology envisioning rope plays that bring taboo sex topics into the limelight.

thanks for reading!
