Materials: Vika amon custom table, Knuff Description: I was really in the need of someplace to store my 11×17 paper for my large format printer. I was storing it on the floor under the desk but I kept kicking it. Then I had it on a HOL storage cube that we store our blankets in. That became a pain. So I went down to our favorite Swedish furniture store with a mission.

Porcelain Topographies is a collection of benches and stools that utilize the beauty of porcelain in their design. They were created in a limited edition for the Karen Schuessler design studio in Berlin. Designer Judith van den Boom created the Porcelain Topographies collection as a way to bring porcelain back into use.
The porcelain used on the benches is made with a press-mold technique. The models used for the collection were blankets that were folded, stacked, crumpled, or hanging.
To create the benches and stools in the Porcelain Topographies Collection, Judith van den Boom collaborated with a team of people from the Netherlands, China and Germany. The Porcelain Topographies are produced under the name BoomWehmeyer as van den Boom worked closely with partner Gunter Wehmeyer to produce this collection.
