Modular Ceramics by Rino Claessens is a system that creates the freedom to make a large variety of objects in which the ceramic kiln is no longer the size limit.
The system consists of ceramic modules : a cross, a T-shape, a corner and a straight module.The modules are all separately fired in the kiln, and afterwards connected by bolts from the inside. In this way they are strongly connected, but also makes it possible to take the modules apart and reconstruct them into new objects. The stoneware ceramic modules are blushed and sponged to give them a rich texture and mixed colour.
Rino Claessens (1994) is an Eindhoven based designer who recently graduated from the Public & Private department at the Design Academy Eindhoven. Ceramics is his material of preference, he is fascinated by its tactile qualities and diverse possibilities. He is interested in the rich history of ceramics but aims to show it in a contemporary way. An experimental and process based approach leads him to creating unconventional objects.
Modular Elements by Rino Claessens will be on display from 8 September to 22 October 2022 in SCENE OUVERTE, Paris.
