Cape Town designer Renée Rossouw collaborated with Italian company Bosa Ceramics on a series of ceramic tableware, under the directorship of Jaime Hayón.  

Pattern Diary is the result of more than a year’s investigation and exploration of patterns, identity, still lives and compositions in ceramic ware. The various pieces comprising this series are all hand-painted in red-and-blue patterns, with a semi-matte glaze.

The collection can be made to work equally well as a whole, as it could by just selecting a few favourite individual pieces. “The bold graphic patterns create a graphic and visual language that fills the space,” says Rossouw.
