Ceramic Speakers by Joey Roth
(11 August 2009) - Designer Joey Roth (of Sorapot fame) recently sent us images of his sharp-looking new speakers, which soft-launched at Nooka's pop-up store at Den in NYC (see details below). Made from porcelain, wood and cork, Roth chose the materials not only for the aesthetic appeal they add to desktops, but also because porcelain's density and "acoustical deadness" rivals that of wood or plastic enabling the...

(18 August 2008) - Fresh from the studio of those cut-up British designers Mixko, these ceramic vases take on the unexpected form of human knees and elbows. We like how the "Michaelangelo meets Dexter" vessel's organic contours are subtle enough to pass for an abstract objet.Both versions are £100 and available now from DA in Moscow and from Mixko's online store later this month.Also on Cool Hunting: Salone...

Royal Tichelaar Makkum Work Table Lamp

Made of Oak, glazed white ceramic and using a low wattage halogen bulb, it gives off a certain warmth that others just can't compete with. Industrial tailor Dick van Hoff worked with the four-century-old Dutch...
