A row of little houses<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In 2016, POTPURRI made its first collection outside tableware. Looking back almost four years after the launch, the challenges of making these little houses still felt fresh. Line them up together and they can bring a smile to an ordinary morning.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

An idea for an everyday object<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n

Hus means \u201chouse\u201d in Swedish. Stockholm streets inspired this toothbrush stand. A toothbrush placed in the top becomes the chimney.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The challenge of a simple shape<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n

The windows were the difficult part. Each house is slip-cast, and the maker opens the windows individually while the clay is still unfired. Square holes caused cracks between the windows.<\/span><\/p>\n

The solution was a square frame in the mould with a round opening behind it. The windows still look square. The makers tested the spacing and size repeatedly to get the balance right.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Finding the colours<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n

Once the shape was working, the glaze presented another challenge.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some colours flowed into the openings and closed them up. The makers adjusted the glaze and inspect the windows of every house. The finished shapes are made to be enjoyed together in different colours.<\/p>\n

A house-shaped box<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n

The stand comes in a box shaped like the house itself. Its colour shows through the little windows, making it an easy gift to give.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
