Transforming clay into authentic feelings and allowing himself to be inspired by every detail that happens during the artisan process: this is the nature of Anas’ creative style, a craftsman based in Barcelona who creates unique pieces that always turn heads. This “soulmade story” goes back much further, to a time before Anas was born, when his grandmother used the same creative impulse, as did his great-grandmother before her, who dedicated her life to pottery making in Morocco.
A multicultural connection that spans generations is present in his creations, which feature an authentically personal hallmark and are inspired in a diverse range of elements-including traditional pottery. The creative process he uses for each piece is unique and contributes to a one-of-a-kind finished product.
BARE POTTERY: GOING BEYOND SHAPE
The new clay pottery collection goes beyond shape and form. It’s style even leads us to use the term “bare pottery”: totally artisanal and made without using any excessive elements, including coatings and decorations that could result in the piece losing its essence. Each piece is unique, featuring its own personality and an ability to fill any space with a feeling of extreme warmth; life and soul.
We bring you a selection of pieces from the collection to inspire you with the unique personality that each one offers. We also give you a few tips on how to use them in an aesthetically pleasing and functional way for the decoration of your home, keeping with Hannun’s most recognisable style.
Darlene Vase
The Darlene vase, made from black clay, is the perfect piece to transform any space in your home thanks to its classic, restrained and at the same time, artisanal, personality. Darlene’s best feature? It’s endless ability to provide unique decoration to your spaces
At Hannun, we recommend filling your vase with dried flowers, which will provide a contrast with the piece’s shades and colours that is guaranteed to fill your home with life. Another option we love (and we think is super original) is to use it as an umbrella holder, bearing in mind that its measurements make the perfect fit, and you’ll give your hallway an elegant touch. We can assure you that nobody will have an umbrella holder like it
Leyda Jug
Every edge that comprises Leyda is an ode to terracotta’s authenticity. Its small details make this even more noticeable: it’s a piece made using a completely artisanal process where the craftsman’s hands are at the forefront and the clay takes on its unique form with every feeling and motion.
Its slender figure and tones make it the perfect piece for filling your home with an absolutely natural look, wherever you decide it fits best. On top of these qualities, you can also use it to store liquids, meaning you can show it off at mealtimes too!
Neko Salad Bowl
If you also believe that unusual and unique shapes equal perfection, you’ll love the Neko Salad Bowl just as much as we do. Crafted manually using a clay pottery wheel and unsmoothed walls, its artisanal design defies the limits of perfection to bring this soul-filled piece to life: a truly “soulmade” piece, without any shadow of a doubt.
You can use it as a decorative ornament, as a fruit bowl or to serve and dazzle guests with your best salads: from rocket salads through to nutty ones, or those dressed in balsamic vinegar. Your favourite recipes will take on a new lease of life!
