BOOKING INFORMATION
Booking required for talk onlyAmsterdam-based designer Floris Wubben creates ceramics that seek to push the boundaries of function and sculpture.

About
SCP present a collection of ceramics by Floris Wubben. On Thursday there will be an evening event with Floris in conjunction with Elle Decoration to celebrate craftmanship, precision and innovation. The evening will kick off with a talk lead by Clare Sartin, the Deputy Editor of UK’s ELLE Decoration, followed by a drinks reception.
Studio Floris Wubben was founded in 2009 in Amsterdam, where he continues to produce all of his work. Floris is renowned for his unique products that sit at the intersection of functional and sculptural design. His pieces are sold in galleries and shops around the world and held in museum collections such as the Design Museum Holon (Israel), MAD (New York), Gewerbemuseum (Winterthur), Mint Museum of Craft and Design (Charlotte), Noordbrabants Museum (Den Bosch) and Museum of Arts and Design (Singapore).
Floris uses low-tech machines which he designed himself. The unique process involves extruding ceramics through these innovative machines. In some instances, Floris cuts away several parts and adds additional structural elements, giving the pieces an entirely new form. His work includes vases, stools, tables, chairs, cabinets, lamps and mirrors. They are all finished with epoxy or glaze in a variety of colours, which Floris selects himself.
