Dialogue
Éphēlis Studio has designed Dialogue, a ceramic design that nurtures the mind and soul and explores the functionality and archetypal of sculptures.
Dialogue is an ongoing project that mimics human connections and examines social dynamics through forms and functionality, celebrating handcrafted artistry while promoting holistic healing of body-mind-spirit.
"Contemporary design often emphasises practicality for human life but tends to overlook practicality for our soul," said Éphēlis Studio.
Dialogue embodies Zen principles and Buddhist philosophy, reflecting cycles of reincarnation and impermanence, offering moments for healing, seeking calm and clarity, encouraging a slower pace in this chaotic world, and fostering an appreciation for the present.
This project fosters environments for meditation and introspection, evoking a sense of healing that soothes restless minds and clarifies emotions.
The physical product is made in clay, white stoneware and granite, all handcrafted and produced in Éphēlis Studio based in Hong Kong by ceramist Kwan Wai Chan.
This project has been shortlisted in the craft and collectible design category of Dezeen Awards China 2024.
