From the process to the finished objects, our motivation is to enrich life through beauty

Our product philosophy at Utopia & Utility is to combine traditional materials in innovative ways. Crafts are at the heart of each object.
We work closely with various independent European makers for each of our objects, creating timeless and ethically valuable pieces.

the concept

STACKING VESSELS ARE FUNCTIONAL SCULPTURES.

A Stacking Vessel is a sculpture built from layers of natural materials, shaped into containers that stack together. Each piece is unique in detail, reflecting its origin in the artisanal workshop and making methods of traditional crafts.

Handmade in europe

Each component is made by an individual artisan.

We use only natural materials with ethical approach. Every piece we create connects 2 to 4 makers and encapsulates a long-lasting heritage of tacit skills across Europe.

The materials then come to our warehouse in Germany where they are fitted and assembled.
