A collection inspired by the sea, consisting of three members:
No. 1 — Bowl
No. 2 — Ashtray
No. 3 — Espresso Cup
This collection is made from a mixture of seashells, sea stones and sand collected from Kralingen Lake (Kralingse Bos) in Rotterdam. It explores the ability of nature to adapt and transform over time, translating natural textures, irregularities, and forms into functional objects.
The collection was developed around several principles:
The collection aims to break the boundary between object and nature, making each piece feel less manufactured and more like something naturally formed over time.

This collection is made from a mixture of seashells, sea stones and sand collected from Kralingen Lake (Kralingse Bos) in Rotterdam. It explores the ability of nature to adapt and transform over time, translating natural textures, irregularities, and forms into functional objects.
The collection was developed around several principles:
- A shared surface language
- Variation within a family
- A shared process
- Sea-inspired forms — taking inspiration from seashells and giving the objects an amorphous and ancient quality.
- Experience over object — creating pieces that feel as if they have been shaped by nature itself, encouraging people to experience and interact with them rather than simply view them as objects.
The collection aims to break the boundary between object and nature, making each piece feel less manufactured and more like something naturally formed over time.
After firing in the kiln the seashells dissolved but the traces it left on the surface become the process.
