In his ANALOG.Y project, Laurin Schaub explores the dialogue between digital design and craftsmanship. This one-of-a-kind porcelain vase in cool colours was turned on the potter's wheel. The surface was digitally designed and made using various techniques, such as digital printing, marbling and sandblasting.

Ceramics for modern times
- • Porcelain is Laurin’s favourite material
- • He explores tableware through unconventional designs
- • In 2018 he was a winner of the Swiss Design Awards
When Laurin Schaub first came across ceramics, he immediately understood that it was what he wanted to do in life. After training in the workshop of a master, he graduated in Ceramic Design at the Schule für Gestaltung Bern und Biel and at the Haute école d'art et de design (HEAD) in Geneva. Since opening his studio in Bern, he has engaged in creating functional porcelain objects with a deconstructed perspective. "I don’t follow a particular style," he explains. "Rather, I keep asking myself what pottery can be today. I am always looking for new techniques and I am often inspired by non-ceramic sectors. On the one hand, I use digital tools and advanced technologies to develop new techniques and design languages; and on the other hand, I am committed to classic pottery and pure craftsmanship." This leads to products and objects with a wide range of functions and complexities.

Vase (A.Part VII)
In this vase from Laurin Schaub’s A.PART series, the light colours blue and ochre contrast with an imitation of terrazzo. All parts are made of porcelain and were produced by means of plate technique and extrusion. The surfaces are glazed, marbled and polished.

Vase (A.Part VII)
A reference to the urban architecture of public places, this porcelain presentation plate was made on the potter's wheel. To achieve the black and white asphalt aesthetics, small quartz stones mixed with black glaze were melted onto the plate and then ground.
