Virginia Sin Balances Tension + Tenderness in Her Clay Creations
"Designers are often expert observers, tuned in to the quiet beauty hidden in everyday moments. Clay master extraordinaire Virginia Sin not only notices these details but translates them into permanent sculptural forms. From the phases of the moon to the crease of a pinched sheet, Sin's latest August 2025 collection explores how emotions - tension, confidence, being grounded - can be molded into something tangible."
"The push and pull of tension is tricky to capture, but Sin makes it look effortless. "As a designer, I'm always drawn to tension - the balance between fragility and function, softness and strength," she says. "This collection is a reflection of that. Each piece is rooted in utility but carries a quiet sculptural presence. I hope these designs feel like a moment of pause that savors simple, yet beautiful, everyday pleasures.""
Virginia Sin's August 2025 collection translates subtle everyday gestures into ceramic sculptures that blend utility with sculptural presence. The work emphasizes tension, balancing fragility and function, softness and strength. The Gami Lighting Collection renders a pinched paper corner as a ceramic fold that suspends a 26-inch mirror in the Mira Wall Mirror, creating a delicate yet assured balance. The Kahn Wall-Mounted Candle Sconce adapts folded-paper forms and can be mounted either way to cradle or elevate a taper. The Noor Pillar Candle Holder (tall and short) uses upward folds to lift a single pillar candle for quiet rituals.
