Ceramic utility pot, Kontenant

A very versatile ceramic utility pot, handmade in Quebec. Use it in the kitchen to hold utensils, in your workshop to hold pencils and brushes, or on a coffee table to display a bouquet of flowers.

Montreal-based ceramic artist Sophie Cousineau creates durable, multi-functional objects to brighten and comfort the senses. The primary colors she uses, the contrast between the color of the clay and the glaze, between the matte texture of the glaze and the bare clay contribute to the enhancement of the raw material.

I am inspired by the Bauhaus philosophy for the creation of sober objects, with minimalist geometric lines that can serve several functions. I am inspired by the colors and shapes used in the works of Gaudi, Kandinsky, Miro, and Hundertwasser.
