When designing your home, it’s important to remember that not all artwork hangs on your walls. Beautifully crafted modern ceramics are truly works of art in and of themselves, and adding those one-of-a-kind items (you know, the ones that you can’t seem to get out of your head even after you’ve left the shop or website) is an easy way to infuse your personality into a space. Of course, one-off pieces can get expensive since you’re paying for the artist’s time, skill, eye, and materials, and then usually a markup at the retail level but these are the items in my home that I just love and treasure forever!!!! EARL is making crazy beautiful things (love you guys!), and I am so honored to now have 4 of their gorgeous cereal bowls in my possession!!! We use these for soups, stir fry, pasta, and of course cereal!!!!

Designed and produced from a modest boatshed atelier and basement studios, Gidon Bing Ceramics are sold and collected worldwide. New York, LA, Tel Aviv, Amsterdam, Paris, Copenhagen and have featured in Selfridges of London and Milan's Salone del Mobile among others. The latest collection draws inspiration from the power and presence of reductive forms – a natural extension of Gidons sculptural practice, where a fascination with the relationship between biological asymmetry and the artifact is explored.

Many of these ceramic objects are modeled and formed using techniques such as traditional Japanese wood bending, carving, plaster turning and mould making together with more contemporary approaches such as 3d printing and multi axis cnc. These processes form part of Gidons unique sculptural approach to designing and producing ceramics.
