Accessories: Roy McMakin for Heath Ceramics

From Janet & Julie:

On a recent visit to Heath Ceramics in Sausalito, we admired Seattle artist Roy McMakin’s subversive and quirky pitchers and jugs. The series, called Vases About Language & Redemption, is available as a set of seven through the Matthew Marks Gallery in New York. McMakin has tweaked a range of forms, from classic to modern, to create humorous yet functional vessels that are strangely compelling, both individually and as a group.

Dutch designer Tord Boontje’s Witches’ Kitchen line for Artenica is inspired by the witches and wizards of Western lore. Handcrafted by artisan groups from three different South American countries, the collection features black ceramic cookware from Colombian artisans, wooden kitchen utensils handcarved by Guatemalan craftsmen, and kitchen couture hand-sewn by Brazil’s Coopa-Roca women’s cooperative.

Architect Visit: Dark European Kitchens

From Julie:

Why are European designers and architects so good at creating dark, moody spaces? Justin at Materialicious is a master at sourcing projects from European architects—both established and emerging. Here’s a roundup of kitchens we’ve collected from his site (and other sources).
