EKATERINA SEMENOVA (03)
With her Care for Milk project, Semenova
explored the potential of using dairy waste
in glazing techniques. The Dutch Design
Academy graduate’s collection features
simple vessels in earthy tones, achieved
with different types of milk (raw, high fat or
low fat). Once baked, its sugars caramelise,
taking on a variety of shades of brown.

MADDALENA SELVINI (05)
As well as her S.Pot collection (previous
pages), Selvini has produced Morning
Spikes, a series of organic-looking coffee
cups. Playing on ideas of warmth and
tactility, they are covered in multiple barbs,
designed to hold layers of wool (not shown)
in place. As the wool-clad cups are washed,
they gain an increasingly felted feel.

An Argentinian based in Milan, Bottoni
set up her studio in 2015. Her tableware
collection references South America’s mate,
a bitter infusion usually drunk from
a leather-clad gourd container. The ceramic
pieces, which include a vase and a teapot,
are encased in a leather sleeve that will
develop a unique patina over time.
