Handmade ceramics by Designlump

Chifen Cheng is the owner and maker at Designlump, a small design studio specializing in handmade ceramics, which looks to explore traditional handcrafted techniques and design. Each one is made and designed by Chifen in Montreal, Canada and are all quite functional in their nature, as you can see in the pictures showcased here.

They’re very clean, with a little hint of character here and there which doesn't distract from their usage as a tool. Take for example the thin porcelain bowls which are not over-demanding in terms of color  quite pan-tone in fact, and are quirkily shaped with the hand to leave little marks and touches, making them not 100% symmetrical like manufactured goods. I find this is something I’m growing more accustomed to as someone who appreciates the handcrafted nature of objects, an appreciation for imperfection I suppose. Making each piece embody a spirit.
