Created using a smooth stoneware clay, these pieces are hand-built by rolling out perfectly flat, thin slabs, which are then moulded into one of several forms. Once formed, the pieces are cut and reassembled into intriguing origami-esque sculptures. This process results in endlessly unique silhouettes with the perfect blend of soft, easy curves and crisp edges and folds.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe white planes of the pieces elegantly highlight their carefully considered forms and angled folds, inspired by the Japanese art of origami.
