VPTC is a collection of ceramic pieces whose surfaces become canvases for experimentation.
Composed by pedestals, fruits bowls, vases, pencils / fruits holders as well as undefined function’s objects, the collection is designed with the idea of a multi-layered modular aspect playing with variations between Volumes, Patterns, Textures and Colours (VPTC).

The volumes have been created in order to be neutral enough and technically functional to be as close as possible to the essential.
From there, the initial volumes have been “transformed” through different process and treatments.
Interchangeable digitally imprinted latex foils results in precise patterns following the volumes curves. Different Chisels or tools are used to carve the initial volumes to create new textured moulds. Special glazes reacts to heat and create random textures…
Finally, coloured glazes, mat or glossy become themselves the ultimate variation layer, playing with the volume, patterns and textures.
Together, VPTC pieces are at the intersection between objects and experiences, functional and contemplative.
