Arthur Analts is a London-based Latvian artist and designer. Analts work takes a critical view of political, cultural and environmental issues. His research-led approach, considers innovative experimentation across materials, new technologies, alternative production techniques and scale. While working in various media, Analts methodology is consistent - the subject matter of each body of work determines the material and the form - and the outcome is always emotionally charged. In 2018 Arthur Analts (Latvian Pavilion) won the Gold Medal at London Design Biennale.

We use locally sourced Latvian red clay. Its distinctive red color is caused by iron oxide in the clay. The clay is known for its exceptional quality and has been prized by potters and ceramics artists for centuries. It is also highly durable and resistant to heat. Although a popular choice for brick-making, with our innovation the red clay has transformed into a unique and durable tableware.

Our technique has been passed down to us by our ancestors along with the appreciation of the art of pottery. Each piece is crafted by hand, resulting in unique and durable tableware, that’s unmatched by mass-produced alternatives.
