Studio Joachim-Morineau

A slowly rotating platform, a mechanic arm holding a reservoir for slip or glaze, a nozzle to dose the dripping liquid, gravity, cohesion, single drops turn into rivulets of clay trickling down the wall of the mould, converging at the bottom. The results are always different despite the uniform procedure. Brittle open structures struggling to materialise or decorative patterns that hover somewhere between industry and craft, a palpable tension that lends the objects their strength. At EKWC, Carla Joachim and Jordan Morineau enhanced the durability of the ceramic objects and improved the quality of their Moca tableware, which they will now launch as a separate brand. Meanwhile, they created a series of ceramic mirrors for Masterly Milano in collaboration with Catawiki, platinum lustre on a deep blue glaze, the surface floating like some futuristic portal to another dimension, and somewhere in the distance the reflection of a puzzled smile.
