ForanSuon debuts a new line of 3D printed ceramic artwork at Bellevue Arts Museum Fair, the largest, award-winning arts & crafts festival in the Northwest. The Seattle based design team returns to BAM Artsfair as a recipient of the Carol Duke Award of Excellence in 2018.
Finding the intersection between fine art, design, ceramics, architecture, craft, and technology, the duo presents a modern arrangement of porcelain and selections from their black “Panther Collection.” Their work references and draws inspiration from nature, pattern, textiles, historical pottery, and figural sculpture.
“These 3D-printed porcelain vessels pop with color and texture — and originality. Made in Seattle and finished with a glazed interior, they’re perfect for use indoors to hold succulents or tealights,or bring them outside for a dinner party centerpiece.” – Seattle Times: Top Gift Guide, 2018
