Anne Hilken and Christian Kurt founded Berlin based label ANNTIAN in 2005. Hilken and Kurt pride themselves on telling a story with each one of their collections. Fascinated by the materiality of clay and glaze “floating into each other,” the spring 2009 collection is representative of “Pottery.” The unique process of constructing pottery from shaping to glazing signifies Hilken and Kurt’s appreciation for details done by hand. They enjoy the “uncontrollable and highly coincidental aspects in modeling clay and in glazing sculptures—these spontaneous aesthetics that awake in the process of ‘doing.’ Here you get very close to a point where Beauty gets vivid, without a cause.” The collection, with each piece being unique, acts as a canvas capturing a desert sunset.
