The Above Sea Level collection is a collaboration between Dutch designer Klaas Kuiken and ceramics workshop Cor Unum, blending experimental design with over 65 years of ceramic expertise. The collection includes three vases and a side table, inspired by Kuiken’s fascination with material transformation and Cor Unum’s refined craftsmanship. Polystyrene molds were used to shape porcelain pieces, preserving the molds’ textured surfaces in the final designs. Evoking the grandeur of icebergs, each piece is named after a glacier—B-15, C-19, B-9, and D-28—connecting nature’s forms with sculptural beauty. Known for innovative materials, Kuiken expands his mold-making exploration, while Cor Unum ensures delicate yet robust porcelain craftsmanship. This collection celebrates the harmony of raw texture and artisanal precision.
