Cup Cult

Artist and ceramicist Romy Northover opened her studio in New York in 2012.

Having lived in London, Hong Kong, Venice and Berlin before establishing her brand in New York, Romy is traditionally trained in European ceramics and uses the Japanese techniques of Kinuneri, Tebineri and Rokuro to create beautiful pieces combining the ancient and contemporary.

For her collaboration with Alex Eagle, Romy created pieces she believes to become more beautiful and singular when having been broken and manipulated.

When Alex and Romy met to discuss the design, they visited a show that was on at Paul Kasmin Gallery NYC, where they found the exquisite surfaces of Constanti Brancusi and Donald Judd sculptures.
