The New Heirlooms
Architectural

We are immersed in a world of architecture at Modern Times and a strong architectural aesthetic has come through many of the limited edition and exclusive pieces designed in collaboration with us for The New Heirlooms collection. A moveable sculpture by Hearth Collective evokes a cityscape, Escher-like staircases rise out of ceramic bud vases by Oh Hey Grace and strong graphic shapes are interpreted in three-dimensions by Claudia Lau and Vivienne La.

The New Heirlooms
Everyday Heirlooms

Gone are the days when the special china or fine silver was entombed in a glass-fronted cabinet or gathered dust in the armoire. These days we appreciate something special that can be used and enjoyed every day. Enjoy a chilled whiskey after a long day with handmade ceramic whiskey tumbler and whiskey stone by James Lemon ceramics or perhaps you have a great cook on your gift list who would enjoy using a hand-thrown ceramic vinegar and oil set.

The New Heirlooms
Ikebana

Has anyone else noticed the Ikebana trend? Ikebana is the Japanese art of arranging flowers, branches and stems in a manner not unlike sculpture. Colour, line and form are composed in unexpected ways that bring out the essential beauty of the natural materials. Arrangements can be unexpected as can the vessels which hold them. Shop ceramic vessels and vases by top Australian ceramicists perfect for Ikebana or to stand alone as beautiful sculptural objects. The perfect gift for a budding florist!
