Emma McDowall’s pastel concrete coin dish and vase reflect the designer’s interest in colour and material play. Each of these elegant, modern pieces is completely unique in surface pattern, palette and textural quality.
Studio Emma was created in 2016 by surface designer and maker Emma McDowall, based in Edinburgh, Scotland.
Emma initially studied Textile Design at Gray’s School of Art, after graduating she took her love for colour and texture and expanded into new materials and more sculptural forms from the modesty of her mother’s garden shed. Her first collection of concrete vessels, home wares & art objects were born from that period of experimentation. Working with imaginative colour combinations to create free-form patterns and surface textures, her hand crafted designs play on the unpredictable and the imperfect, taking shape as bold, decorative pieces, each of which is entirely unique.
Each piece is made by hand from start to finish, each completely unique in colour, texture and surface pattern, imperfections are celebrated as part of the design.
