Tableware designed by Zheni studio is everyday objects aimed at bringing joy on a daily life basis.

Natural materials and colours, minimalistic design bring attention to the physical properties of an object - raw texture, weight, rough edges, uneven glaze spreading. Qualities that make a deep sensory impression and make every object unrepeatable and unique.

The beauty of imperfection - wabi-sabi - this idea of natural raw and simple is transmitted through asymmetrical forms. A metaphor of true specialty of any creation of nature. There is no need to be perfect when you cherish what makes you special.

Zheni studio tableware is literally a piece of nature, that turned into an object of design with help of craftsman hands and ideas. The clay's affiliation to nature carefully persists through the process of creation. Awaking the feeling of actual connection with earth wherever a piece of tableware finds its appliance.

The beauty of things we use every day makes every moment joyful.

burning clay

ZHENI is a ceramic design studio. Started my professional career as an architect and later as an interior designer, I continue to work with space now by placing my objects in it. Mostly I work with clay as with one of the ancient and natural material human worked with. The perception of the way material got through the thousands of years in different cultures all around the globe gives me a dose of inspiration. Also, I’m inspired by brutalist architecture and contemporary urban and landscape design. Paying attention to relationships between human and nature on the city site, making connections between different natural phenomenas give me an opportunity to achieve unobvious results during the design process. My works may be characterized by the purity of form, naturalness, and minimalism in colors. The design method can be described as a practice-led exploration of harmony between form, texture and natural color of the material to create sculptural and functional objects hand-made and fired in Studio in Bratislava.
