New Belgian design brand Home Studyo is launching its inaugural collection, Blow Up
Playful ceramic objects for happy homes
Home Studyo, a Belgium-based design brand, is announcing the launch of its inaugural collection, Blow Up. Founded by Mathieu Van Damme (Case Studyo) and Esther Noben (Toykyo), Home Studyo is creating playful ceramic homeware pieces that serve as artistic narratives in everyday life.
Home Studyo aims to fill the gap between the high-end exclusive collectible design and the impersonal mass production. They create handmade, affordable and everyday objects with a twist, inspiring everyone to curate their own space of happiness. The objects are joyful and colourful, making them happy eye-catchers in every home.
The Blow Up Collection is a vibrant and playful nod to childhood memories and summer fun, reimagined in ceramic instead of plastic. From inflated vases to carafes and planters, each piece in the collection is handmade in Portugal and crafted to bring joy and infuse everyday life with happiness.
Shape-wise, the objects are instantly recognisable as archetypes of vases, flower pots and carafes. But thanks to the vivid colours and the playful, cheerful, tromp-l'oeil-like approach of the blow-up, a new, tactile dimension is added, making the pieces real eye-catchers.
Home Studyo's Blow Up Collection is more than just homeware; it's an exploration of unexpected beauty that transforms summer vibes into happy pieces for every home.
In addition to the Blow Up Collection, Home Studyo plans to collaborate with artists to offer limited edition collections alongside their in-house designs.
