Natasha Lawless: Ceramics




This ceramic owl plate and mug is from 'The One Who Waits' range by Natasha Lawless a British designer based in Hackney, London.

The design was "Inspired by the rich symbolic art and culture of the Inuit people of the central Canadian Arctic and Greenland, the One Who Waits [products] showcase Natasha Lawless' ability to draw on traditional folk motifs while infusing them with her own, unique contemporary aesthetic."

You can also find cushion and pocket mirror in the same owl design and more in her online store. I am especially loving the plates (shown above). They all compliment each other, don't you think?
