Clementina van der Walt x Studio Matongé: Ceramics that brighten everyday life
At Studio Matongé, we love objects that bring character and colour to our interiors. The “Colour Me Bright” collection by Clementina van der Walt is a perfect example. Inspired by African landscapes, urban and rural alike, it blends vibrant shades and refined finishes, in a style that evokes traditional motifs as much as the pure forms of Suprematism.
Craftsmanship in radiant colours
From her Cape Town studio, Clementina van der Walt creates ceramic pieces where art and everyday use come together. Her Colour Me Bright collection plays on a bold palette: red, orange, yellow, sky blue, summer blue, lime green. Colours designed to answer one another, complement each other and energise every table.
Each piece is fully glazed: a glossy, even and hard-wearing glaze that heightens the depth of the colours and enhances the minimalist forms. This approach, reminiscent of Suprematism, gives rise to tableware where the simplicity of the lines reinforces the impact of the colours.
“These pieces are designed to light up everyday moments. Their radiance gives depth to every table, whether for a gentle breakfast or a warm dinner.”
A collection designed to be mixed
Each piece in this collection was designed to work alone or in combination. The idea? To create a vibrant table, modular and expressive, where every element speaks to the others.
MARABA duo of cups – A colour-block contrast, between colour and restraint.
MMOHO ceramic mug – Perfect for coffee or tea breaks, solo or in accumulation.
KIMA trio of bowls – Pure lines and bold colours to give rhythm to the table.
UMBALA trio of plates – The centrepiece of a contemporary table.
The art of the table, contemporary version
Designed for everyday use, the Colour Me Bright collection is food-safe and can be washed in the dishwasher with care. Beyond its function, it invites you to reinvent the art of the table: a blend of craftsmanship, design and chromatic audacity.
