TABLE ART · COLLECTABLE OBJECTS
DESIGNED BETWEEN
PARIS & PELION
A way of living
Folds, pleats, seams and raw edges are translated into ceramic forms. Each piece preserves the movement of the hand and the memory of cloth — sculptural, tactile and made to be used.
“Just as I have always searched for the perfect line, I have spent years exploring textures, movement, fabrics and shapes.”
For years, Katharina studied how fabric moves around the body. Fabric Senses carries that curiosity to the table: the softness of cloth becomes a lasting ceramic gesture, inviting touch as much as sight.
Between Paris & Pelion
Paris taught proportion, elegance and the culture of gastronomy. Pelion reveals every day that beauty begins in nature. Between these two places, architecture becomes ceramics. Each piece carries traces of both worlds.
The collections
Distinct in character, designed to live together. Every piece is shaped by hand in warm ivory.
Broad, continuous folds gather around a quiet centre.
Fine architectural pleats create a dialogue between light and shadow.
Overlapping bands evoke the hidden architecture of woven cloth.
Irregular folds shift off axis, creating movement and rhythm.
An irregular edge preserves the immediacy of hand cut cloth.
Compressed and released pleats circle a quiet centre.
The table
Plates, basins and cups can be composed in one signature pattern or combined freely. Collections can be adapted for chefs, hospitality projects and private tables.
Enquire about a projectDimensions are approximate. Matching plates are twice the cup diameter. Every pattern can be created across the complete range, and sizes can be adapted for hospitality projects.
Available sets
A breakfast set for four: four plates and four cups with matching plates. A coffee pot or teapot, milk jug, sugar bowl and presentation plate can be created on request.
A dinner setting for eight, composed of flat and deep plates in one signature pattern or a personal combination.
A set for four with small plates, deep plates and cups, designed for tasting menus, shared courses and refined pairings.
The six patterns can be mixed across cups and plates; a matching plate may carry a different pattern from its cup.
Large objects · Bespoke
Bowls, vases, lamps and serving pieces are shaped by hand for particular settings. A large serving bowl measures approximately Ø 40 × H 20 cm.
Dimensions, glazes and special forms can be developed with chefs, interior designers, hospitality projects and private collectors. Limited editions and collaborations grow through close dialogue.
The atelier
Every Fabric Senses piece is imagined by Katharina Kriener and brought to life in close collaboration with master ceramicist Christos Giannakopoulos in Pelion, Greece.
Design and craftsmanship meet in a shared pursuit of beauty, precision and authenticity.
The hands behind each piece
Every form begins with a familiar function, then develops through touch. At the leather-hard stage, handles, folds and edges are refined individually before the first firing. Small variations make every piece its own.
For distinctive places
Table art that supports the colour, contrast and rhythm of a tasting menu.
Bowls, vases, lamps and serving pieces can be developed for a particular setting.
Table services for the home and tableware for restaurants are made to order in Pelion. How to order
Twice fired · food safe glaze · dishwasher safe. Handmade variations are intrinsic to each piece.
The designer
With a background as an architect, Katharina explores the relationship between space, material, light and human experience. Fabric Senses extends this approach to the table.
Whether designing an opera house or a piece of table art, the intention is always the same: elegant and timeless lines, shaped by proportion, movement, material and light.
Presentation
Each piece is individually protected and presented in a restrained white box. Its folds and quiet materiality continue the visual language of the collection for private collectors and professional presentation.
