    A series of vases designed by Gabriel Tan, who is also the director of Origin Made. This collection expresses an ikebana approach. The different sizes, shapes, and orientations of the vases allow for various compositions. This vase features a unique shape crafted using a traditional Portuguese pottery method called Barro Preto. By burying and firing the pottery in an underground pit called a "soenga," oxygen is removed from the pottery, resulting in a non-uniform texture of black, gray, and earthy tones. A disappearing tradition - few artisans remain with the knowledge to create objects using Barro Preto. Together with João Lourenço, one of the few Barro Preto artisans, Gabriel Tan hopes to revive this heritage.

    Origin Made

    Origin Made is a brand directed and operated by Singaporean designer Gabriel Tan.
    Similar to traditional Japanese crafts, Portugal has traditional handicrafts that are on the verge of disappearing.
    They research these handicrafts, materials, and techniques, and design and manufacture products that play an important role in modern society. There is nostalgia and authenticity in the handicraft process, and they focused on human connection. By combining contemporary design with artisanal skills cultivated over generations, they create interior objects, lighting, and furniture that are loved across time. By collaborating with family-run workshops and artisans, Origin Made discovers local manufacturing methods and raw materials, and aims to convey these artisans and techniques through unique products. They also view raw materials not merely as everyday commodities, but as foundational components for art and design, encouraging consumers to adopt a different perspective through Origin Made's products. By fostering a deeper relationship between humanity and these materials, they hope that we will feel a closer connection and responsibility to our shared Earth.
