Ceramic Goblet by John Pawson
When Objects Work
Designed by John Pawson for When Objects Work, the Ceramic Goblet reflects Pawson's discipline of pared back, refined simplicity - where the design can no longer be improved by further subtraction. A similar silhouette to the crystal Wine Glass by John Pawson, this ceramic iteration is softer to the touch, perfect for any drink of choice.
John Pawson is a British architectural designer whose work is known for its minimalist aesthetic. This collection of tableware began with the idea of equipping the refectory of the Abbey of Nový Dvůr in Bohemia with a set of implements and vessels appropriate to the functional and aesthetic needs of the monastic community. Smooth and sculptural in form, the ceramic bowl is a beautiful addition for everyday home and dining.
Sold singularly. Pairs beautifully with the Ceramic Bowls.
John pawson
For over 30 years, John Pawson CBE’s work – rigorous in its simplicity and modesty – has addressed the fundamentals of architecture. It spans a wide range of scales and typologies, from private residences, museums, and hotels, to ballet sets and sacred spaces.
Like Alvar Aalto’s bronze door handle – “the handshake of a building” – Pawson’s work engages with a philosophy of space through sight and touch. He applies the exact same approach to both buildings and design commissions: “it’s all architecture”.
Regardless of scale, all of his projects share a consistent focus on mass, volume, surface, proportion, junction, geometry, repetition, light and ritual. In this way, even a modest fork becomes a vehicle for much broader ideas about how we live and what we value.
