MAGDALENA SZMYDTKE CERAMIC OBJECT "NIGHT SURFACE"

Description

ABOUT THE OBJECT
Hand-shaped from clay and painted with a brush, this sculptural work is finished with custom-mixed glazes that merge dark silver and gold with subtle burgundy undertones. The surface evokes the rare, serene beauty of starlight reflecting on deep water at night quiet, luminous, and compelling in its depth. More than an object, it functions as a sculptural gesture that balances stillness with movement.

THE COLLECTION: “DARK WATER”
Created exclusively for Marcell Pustul, the Dark Water collection explores the sea’s tranquil atmosphere and the soft glow that drifts across its surface as day fades into night. Each piece is hand-sculpted into wave-like forms and finished with bespoke glaze combinations that study the interplay of light and shifting color. Designed as functional sculptures, the works invite calm and contemplation serving as additional seating, a distinctive table, or a striking stand-alone piece.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
From her studio in Gdynia, ceramicist Magdalena Szmydtke draws from the poetic beauty of the Baltic Sea its shifting light, organic curves, and quiet rhythm. Her practice transforms these natural impressions into contemporary ceramic forms. Meticulously hand-crafted and brush-glazed, each piece is a singular design object, capturing a fleeting moment of luminosity and becoming a one-of-a-kind sculptural work.
