Stoneware fish-shaped vase in Jade Green
This made me smile. Fish have somehow managed to become one of those motifs that can be wonderfully chic or completely ridiculous, occasionally at the same time. We’re seeing lots of playful ceramics and tableware from independent makers at Söstter, and I think people are increasingly happy to have things at home simply because they make them smile. Thank goodness, really. Interiors had become terribly serious.
Yes! Everything got a bit beige!
