Zeber Martell Studio

Filed under: Decor, Art

Claudia Zeber-Martell and Michael Martell are an Ohio-based pair who work together to create fabulously zany works in clay. Their works range from lamps and glass-topped tables and vases to serving trays and mugs. The pair travel around to art fairs and are shown in galleries around the world. The teapot shown here is one of their signature collectible pieces and sells for $800.

Clay Furniture from Maarten Baas

Filed under: Decor

Last week in Milan, Dutch designer/artist Maarten Baas debuted an unusual furniture collection made of clay. Not only is it made of clay, but it is hand-sculpted by the designer himself. While the furniture is much more appealing than I would have expected clay furniture to look, there is still the question over whether such a design could appeal to a wide audience, beyond the walls of the exhibition room. Is it comfortable or must it be resigned to the same status as a sculpture and preserved as art for the sake of art?
