Atelier Margaretenhöhe

Editorial / 2008 / Essen
Published in Esquire Japan / Tokyo

One of the rare remaining outposts in Germany to adhere to the traditions of handmade craft, the ceramics studio Margaretenhöhe was founded in the 1920s and is now being led by Korean master Young-Jae Lee. Fusing Asian aesthetics with influences of the Bauhaus and an artistic approach with applied ceramics, the studio is not only self-reliant, it also serves as an example how quality and individual character can hold their place in an environment of globalization and mass production.
