Sculptor Willem van Hooff (1992) graduated from the Design Academy in Eindhoven, The Netherlands — the city where he still lives and works. Like a modern-day version of ancient craftsmen, he digs deep into forgotten techniques and materials and reinterprets them for the future. His philosophy is that each object must have a mind, body and soul; a mind to function, a body for good looks and a soul for character.

These vases are crafted from classic pottery. Once shaped up to its intended shape, it requires two weeks to dry in a special dryer, then slowly baked to ultimate strength. Once the clay is fully transformed to ceramic, they’re colour glazed to perfection.
