Mudd Concrete’s Bōl Collection Honours the Beauty of Handmade

Countryside studio near Toronto blends pottery sensibilities with concrete

One glance at Mudd Concrete’s Bōl collection and you’ll find yourself charmed by its artisanal allure. The collection comprises a variety of washbasins inspired by artisan origins and introduces gentle, curved forms to express a more organic beauty than your typical kitchen or bathroom sink, further demonstrated in Bōl’s neutral, nine-colour palette range. The result is a line that merges modern and antique in a timeless fashion.

LEFT Rōve basin, from $975. RIGHT Cerrō basin, from $1,295. The Bōl collection can be shopped locally at TAPS and Casson Hardware.

A testament to the beauty of clay and the craftsmanship of pottery, Bōl was inspired by the transformative process of clay moulding under the skilled hands of a potter and pays homage to Mudd Concrete’s personal, artisan beginnings. Experimenting with tactile textures, each basin design presents unique cementitious impressions, imperfectly hand-brushed across the surface by co-founder and master artisan Anton Vanee.

While concrete conveys strength in character, Bōl experiments with casting concrete in more tactile textures, and positions the material’s industrial heritage to take on a new identity; one in which form, function, and artistry balance in harmony. Both the process and result represent artistic expression in its purest form. MUDDCONCRETE.COM
