CANOA LAB CERAMICS AND HOMEWARE AT INK + PORCELAIN

Handmade in Valencia, Spain, Canoa Lab ceramics echo the shapes and textures of ancient artifacts, imparting a sense of ritual for modern use. The ceramics and homeware pieces by Canoa Lab focus on texture, color and form, calling to the ancient home decor design of Iberian, Roman and Greek societies of the Mediterranean.

Canoa Lab, founded by Raquel Vidal and Pedro Paz, epitomizes cartographic drift by dynamically exploring interior design boundaries and innovations. The sculptural vessels are made of stoneware with grog and brushed with experimental glazes and a textured surface, resulting in slight variations with each ornamental homeware and ceramic piece.

As a purveyor of artful home decor objects and unique interior design items, INK + PORCELAIN partnered with Canoa Lab in sharing their beautiful homeware pieces and ceramics with local and international interior designers and stylists for their select clients.

This partnership has also evolved into Canoa Lab creating ceramic vases, vessels, and other homeware items exclusively for INK + PORCELAIN.

THE CREATIVE PROCESS+

Our creative process is not subject to a single prior idea that may be developed later on, rather it is a continuum in which one thing leads to another. We try to think and reflect on processes without a concrete opening and closure, so one idea accompanies us to meet another. We draw and observe objects all the time, looking at archive images that are present throughout the process, and making sketches and conducting mini-experiments that enable us to think and reflect about the shapes, textures, structures and images that we could use in creating the pieces. All this happens parallel to the construction of our objects, without a clearly differentiated before or after, so we could say that we build thinking and think about building.
