Designed by Norm Architects in collaboration with Ancher Studio, each piece in the No. 16 collection embodies a refined simplicity and profound connection to nature. Drawing inspiration from the serene aesthetics of Japanese design and the clean, functional lines of Scandinavian tradition, the wheel thrown ceramics offer a unique fusion of the modern and the timeless – creating a design that is both multifunctional and pleasing to the eye.

Featuring a light-colored glaze and speckled clay, the pieces are reminiscent of natural stone and sand, creating a subtle yet captivating texture. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, each piece is a testament to the craftsmanship and dedication of Ancher’s skilled potters, ensuring durability and long-lasting beauty to provide a comforting and organic feel that enriches everyday rituals.

No. 16 was originally designed bespoke for a guesthouse on the north coast of Zealand in Denmark to fit with a rustic and casual summer lifestyle close to beach, forest and heathers.
Stemming from the design ethos of this project, the ceramics exude the human-centric design ethos of Norm Architects to engage all the human senses.
