The MATTER Collection Honors Landscapes Through Ceramics

In a world that moves at an ever-increasing pace, it’s more important than ever to pause and consider our relationship with nature – the landscapes that ground us, inspire us, and often leave us in awe. From misty mountaintops to quiet desert dunes, these untouched places remind us of the beauty that exists beyond the built environment, around our homes and beyond it. It’s more important than ever to protect and preserve them. As we shape our daily lives, the objects we surround ourselves can serve as gentle reminders of this connection and the collective responsibility we share to tread lightly and honor the earth and all it holds.

Los Angeles-based OWIU Goods, the home goods extension by design and build firm OWIU Design, embodies this philosophy in its MATTER Collection, translating the serenity of natural landscapes into handcrafted ceramics designed to elevate everyday rituals. Each piece, with its organic forms and earthy textures, invites mindfulness – whether in the quiet stillness of the morning while making a cup of matcha or in the simple act of setting the table. More than just housewares, this collection is a tactic reminder of our bond with nature, encouraging a slower, more intentional way of living.

MATTER features a thoughtful, curated selection of ceramics: a hand-thrown matcha bowl for a perfectly frothy beverage, a whisk stand to preserve your matcha tools, an elegant cup for daily coffee or tea, a versatile 7-inch plate to accompany every meal, a donburi bowl for nourishing, well-proportioned dishes, candles that smell like the elements that inspire them, and a ceramic canister for dry goods or keepsakes.

Made in small batches with locally sourced clay, each item is handcrafted in Los Angeles by a team of skilled artisans. The glazes that give each piece its distinctive, one-of-a-kind character are inspired by the different elements and landscapes found in nature – beaches, coastal landscapes, forests, meadows, deserts, white sands, and rose quartz.

While we may not always find ourselves immersed in the untouched beauty of nature, we can still nurture our connection to it. With the MATTER Collection, that reflection becomes part of our daily lives.
