Herringbone Vase Ribbed

The Herringbone Vessels are created by repeatedly immersing ceramic bowls and vases in a coloured glaze.‎ This process yields a pattern with an intrinsic logic, determined by the dipping angle as well as the shape and weight of the piece.‎ As the dyeing process is performed entirely by hand, each bowl and vase in the Herringbone Collection is a unique object.‎Material: glazed ceramic; dip-dyed by hand.‎Created by Raw-Edges, the Herringbone Collection emerged from the studio‘s interest in the technique of immersion dyeing.‎ The transformations of different materials and shapes when parts of them are dipped in a dye bath exert an almost magical fascination on the design duo Shay Alkalay and Yael Mer.‎In 2018, Raw-Edges conceived the furnishings and layout for an entire floor of the VitraHaus on the Vitra Campus.‎ For this project, they developed a series of pillows and small, tree-like wooden objects with patterns based on the immersion dyeing technique.‎ These pieces met with great interest, which led to the decision to further refine the designs for mass production.‎The resulting Herringbone Collection consists of three product groups: the Herringbone Pillows, Herringbone Vessels and Herringbone Trees.‎ The colour scheme and sharpness of the pattern contours vary depending on the respective material.‎
