Ceramics inspired by daily rituals

  • • Iris was introduced to pottery by her father
  • • Her style is warm, earthy and minimalist
  • • Ancient cultures and lifestyles fuel her research

Born to a German father and a French-Swiss mother, Iris Roth moved to Milan when she was 15. Today she lives on the outskirts of the city, away from the fashionable streets and fancy restaurants. Her home is in the semi-industrial, semi-rural area known as Quartiere Adriano and her workshop is in the working-class neighbourhood of Dergano, in some ways Iris’ surroundings seem to reflect the aesthetic of her work: nothing too posh, nothing too stuffy, no formality. Just simple living and good taste. Iris is an interior designer as well as a ceramist: her homewear collection originates from researching all aspects of the art of living. She is interested in whether everyday objects influence your lifestyle, or whether it is the opposite: the work of an artisan is influenced by daily rituals.
