Table Top
RENS X COR UNUM
​
​
Colourful side tables made entirely of ceramics. Produced in collaboration with Cor Unum Ceramics, based on the idea and colour process of Colour Traces
and Reddish.
​
​
Three colours are used for the ink: yellow, blue and dark grey. The graphic drawing is a result of capillary effects, in which the ink draws itself into the ceramic.
Table Top is a highly conceptual piece of practical design: the items are no longer in regular production and are now only available upon special request for demonstrative purposes.

RENS X COR UNUM CERAMICS
The ceramic experts of Cor Unum and RENS have maintained a broad and fruitful collaboration for years. Their cross-pollination started in 2013 with an extensive exploration into the use of red in ceramics, a challenging colour in porcelain and earthenware.
This colour and material research gave birth to the joint collection Reddish, for which RENS devised and developed a unique colouring process, leading to a series of beautiful collaborations, including Colour Traces, Table Top, Colour Tubes, Unfoiled Vases, and Re-glow tiles.

‘RENS was the first with whom we started a material research. For us, the collaboration was a great way to gain new insights – and a starting point for many new collaborations with other designers.’
— Lotte Landsheer, Director, Cor Unum Ceramics
