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.
‘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
