tactile + function


born in demark and based in the UK, marie torbensdatter hermann generates tactile ceramic tableware forms. it’s her mission and fascination to refine our tactile senses with her conceptual table art, literally. and its functional too, cups fit like a glove in your hand, bowls and other objects organically and naturally nestle themselves into the palm. she explores ceramics and utility far beyond the feel of rough and smooth but further by including small visual variations that can will automatically be viewed as comfortable once you touch and pick them up. purchase or view some of her superb hand-thrown works at matin gallery in santa monica.
