What if being grown up didn’t mean giving up your sense of play? Home Studyo, a Belgium-based design brand founded by Mathieu Van Damme of Case Studyo and Esther Noben of Toykyo, proudly unveils its debut collection, Blow Up, in a nod to childhood fun. Rather than letting that sense of whimsy fade away, you can tap into it every time you use an artifact from their collection. While a quick glance might have you believing the series of vases, carafes, planters, and mirrors are actual inflatables, the pieces are all ceramics handcrafted from clay in Portugal.

The archetypal home furnishing forms are infused with excitement thanks to vivid colors including Bone, Indigo, Lila, Moss, Coral, Yolk, and Sky. And the careful detailing of apparently puckered plastic seams creates a delightful dissonance when users first encounter the object’s unexpected texture and weight.

While most home decor objects are either mass produced for big box stores or made in small batches at a much higher price tag, Home Studyo wants to meet you somewhere in the middle. Their handcrafted, designer-made collections are affordable and accessible so that you can create a home where you’re surrounded by joyful objects. In future collections, Home Studyo will collaborate with artists to create limited edition pieces that can live happily alongside their in-house designs.
