In conjunction with the celebration of its 25th anniversary in August this year, Swedish design company Mateus is launching a new collection of ceramics.
The range, called ‘Mateus meets Sam Baron meets Yatzer’ is a collaboration with award-winning French designer Sam Baron and Costas Voyatzis, founder of the Yatzer design portal.
The anniversary collection is characterised by a subtle colour palette and―as with all Mateus ceramics―every piece is handmade and hand-painted. The collection comprises plates, a bowl, a jug and a cup in different sizes and colours.
Mateus has had worldwide success with its popular ceramics in lively, hand-painted colours and decorative patterns. The new collection, created in a palette of neutral, muted colours, marks a different approach for Mateus.
The subtle aesthetics are a nod from the design duo to the oldest method of crafting ceramics.
“I’ve followed Sam and Costas through the years and think their approach to form and design is a good match to our vision at Mateus,” says Teresa Mateus, founder and CEO of Mateus.
“The starting point for all our collections is that they can all be mixed and matched. This is something I think the design duo has been successful with in the new collection, while creating a new, contemporary design language.”
With the new collection, Baron and Voyatzis pay tribute to Mateus and the company’s 25 years in ceramics. The range was created as a tribute to ceramics.
“We want to bring to the fore the origins of ceramics, one of mankind’s earliest art forms, which Mateus has taken to a new level,” say the duo.
“The contrast between the unglazed structure and the hand-painted colour palette gives the pieces a contemporary feel without detracting from their handcrafted appeal.”
