Our Material Library is a growing archive of textures and finishes that form the foundation of our work. Each surface has been carefully crafted in collaboration with artisans, merging traditional techniques with contemporary design sensibilities.
These materials are not just finishes, but possibilities — they can be adapted across our collections and reimagined into new works we create. While the library offers a glimpse into our current repertoire, it also serves as an invitation to explore, experiment, and develop new textures together.
Ceramics, for us, are more than just a material – they are a dialogue between earth, fire, and human imagination. We collaborate with a diverse group of ceramic artists, each of whom brings years of mastery in different techniques, from hand-thrown pottery to intricate glazing and firing processes. Their expertise in working with clay allows us to push boundaries, while our design sensibility ensures that every piece finds its place within a contemporary living environment.
Together, we create objects that transcend their utilitarian function to become expressions of functional art. A vase, a bowl, or a light fixture is not just a product – it becomes an embodiment of craft, design, and purpose. The surfaces, finishes, and forms that emerge from these collaborations are layered with character, carrying the subtle marks of the handmade and the refinement of considered design.
Our approach to ceramics is rooted in collaboration: we value the artist’s depth of technique and material understanding, and we merge it with our vision of modern, high-design objects. The result is a body of work that feels timeless, tactile, and versatile – pieces that are functional yet infused with soul, meant to be lived with and cherished every day.
At Eikowa Studio, our practice extends beyond the familiar domains of metal and ceramic. We see materials as languages, each offering its own possibilities for expression. Depending on the idea at hand, we experiment with terracotta, micro cement, sculptural plasters, and paint to push form, texture, and finish in new directions. These explorations allow us to create pieces that are not bound by a single medium but are instead shaped by the dialogue between concept, craft, and material.
