Re-Fragment

This collection of ceramic earthenware coasters redefines circularity in ceramic production. Their white surfaces are embedded with vibrant shards of repurposed ceramics, along with fine particles of powdered and crushed fired ceramics, creating a unique “terrazzo” effect. Each piece incorporates test tiles, broken, or otherwise discarded fragments that would typically go unused, giving them a second life in a thoughtfully designed form.

The Re-Fragment coasters celebrate the beauty of imperfection and the art of upcycling. Handmade with meticulous care, each piece embodies sustainability and creative spontaneity, as no two coasters are exactly alike. The intentional randomness in the selection of ceramic fragments ensures that every coaster is a one-of-a-kind expression of craftsmanship and resourcefulness.

Re-Fragment ceramic coasters arrived among the finalists at the European Circular Online Museum contest in the category of “eco-design”.
