For the Cocooning lanterns, the Belgian ceramist Fréderique Vanvlasselaer went in search of the possibilities of textures on the porcelain surface, in the function of light. She takes inspiration for the applied layers from textures that arise through decay, such as layers of paint that peel off, cracks in a wall or a rotting piece of wood. The Cocooning lanterns are further characterized by their organic signature and refined finish. The organic character is reflected in the soft wavy lines and the earthy patterns. “The soft candlelight creates a cosy feeling through the translucent porcelain, with which I want to contribute to homely cosiness.”

Fréderique Vanvlasselaer started making ceramics 15 years ago. As an autodidact, she was able to experiment uninhibitedly, often with surprising results. Only later did she register at the Academy of Visual Arts in Ghent to master the basic principles and techniques. This knowledge helped her to further explore the limits of the possible and to refine her own formal language. Since 2020 she has been working full-time in her own porcelain studio, Studio Fréderique in Maarkedal, where she works on limited editions and in the meantime also delivers custom work.
