Philosophy

When the objects we use every day and the surroundings we live in have become in themselves a work of art, then we shall be able to say that we have achieved a balanced life.
— Munari, 1966

Object & Ceramic Design (OCD) is a design project, a process, a collaboration. We are interested in the designing and making of ceramic objects that simultaneously elevate the lives of both the maker and the collector. We believe the only way to achieve this is to blur the lines between art and design – through small scale production, limited runs, and one-off pieces. 

The benefits of working this way are many: we minimise waste from overproduction, gain a deeper understanding of the materials we use, and allow ourselves the space to experiment and change.
