“Art is something absolute, something positive, which gives power just as food gives power. While creative science is a mental food, art is the satisfaction of the soul.” Hans Hofmann | Urban Nature Culture’s Ateljé series shows that everyday basics don’t have to be plain. The series’ Tapas Bowl is a great example of craftmanship. Its matt, brown and handmade finish carries a reactive glaze, which truly brings it to life. The rim shows the original stoneware, revealing its origin and showing exactly why the series balances art and functionality.
