bastisRIKE meets studio MAALS

Studio MAALS is an urban pottery studio based in Hamburg, founded and lead by latvian maker Nata Pestune.

MAALS (also māls, Latvian) means clay. Simple as that.

Center of attention for Nata is finding fusion between beauty and function, with an idea in mind that objects will be used on a daily basis. Colors are reduced to a minimum, letting shape and natural color of clay to present itself and quietly interact with the environment it is placed into.

For our cooperation, Nata designed a small edition of candle holders, implemented in her workshop and glazed according to my colour wishes. The result are three shapes in three colors each. Designed to fit bastisRIKEs slim beeswax candles.

A edition in very limited quantities. Each holder is unique, showing the marks of the maker's process.
