Makers

Atelier SOOBO

Atelier SOOBO

Founded by Korean ceramicists Bokyung Kim and Minsoo Lee, Atelier SOOBO creates refined everyday ceramics shaped by silence, balance, and tradition. Each piece is made by hand in their Dießen am Ammersee studio—rooted in the deep heritage of Korean pottery, yet designed for contemporary life.

Maria Cepissakova

Maria Cepissakova

Maria Cepissakova explores the thresholds of ceramic tradition—bringing together clay, porcelain, and glass in works that shift between function, sculpture, and wall-based form. Her pieces challenge the limits of material and context, while remaining grounded in a deep respect for craft.

Lena Harms

Lena Harms

Lena Harms creates sculptural vessels and cups that blur the line between function and visual art. Using only coil and slab techniques, her surfaces are built layer by layer—painted with clay slips and inlays rather than glaze—celebrating the earthiness and raw beauty of clay itself.

Chiaki Asanuma

Chiaki Asanuma

Chiaki bridges traditional blown-glass techniques with a refined, contemplative finishing process that includes engraving, grinding, and polishing. Her forms are often inspired by classical, turned silhouettes, but her attention lies in what happens within and through the glass. She works both from her studio in Munich and in collaboration with historic glass workshops in the Bavarian Forest and Nuremberg, continuing to explore the full material language of glass—from its molten beginnings to its cooled, crystalline stillness.

Fritz Baumann

Fritz Baumann

Trained as a carpenter, Fritz Baumann turns freshly cut oak into sculptural vessels that shift as they dry—developing gentle warps, cracks, and asymmetries. His work embraces natural change and highlights the character of the wood through visible tool marks, butterfly joints, and minimal surface treatments.This series of turned bowls and vessels is a celebration of wood as a living material.
