*IMPOSE* (2024) by Rutger de Regt reimagines the stool as both functional object and sculptural statement. Crafted in ceramic with a vibrant blue glaze, its biomorphic form embodies De Regt’s process-oriented approach, blending abstraction and utility. The glossy finish highlights undulating voids and bulbous expansions, evoking organic growth and movement, while the hand-imposed texture reveals the artist’s intimate manipulation of the material. This interplay of smooth surfaces and tactile details blurs the line between craft and contemporary sculpture. Beyond functionality, *IMPOSE* invites contemplation, challenging perceptions of balance, form, and human interaction. With this piece, De Regt affirms his place in innovative ceramic design, offering a poetic exploration of material and utility.
