Subversive Ceramics in Berlin

October 8, 2012

What Astier de Villatte is to Paris, Kühn Keramik is to Berlin: a next-wave ceramics shop redefining the modern table, sometimes with a subversive spin (cups labeled "Poison," for instance).

Bavarian artist Bernard Kühn trained at the École Supérieure des Arts Appliqués in Paris before establishing his ceramics studio in the early 1990s in Berlin; his inspirations range from punk rock to Baroque art, and his pieces reflect his range of interests. Kuhn recently opened a shop and studio in Berlin, located at Yorckstrass 18; for information, go to Kuhn Keramik.

N.B. In the US, Kühn Keramik pieces are available at Horne and John Derian.
