Description

Ceramic piece that can be used as a bowl or a centerpiece on your table, or wall hanging as a sculpture.

Every piece is shaped and glazed by hand and therefore unique. This also means that the dimensions are a gudiline – some pieces might differ in dimensions. If you wish to pick a specific piece or have wishes for certain dimensions, please reach out.

The oyster shells are food-safe and can be washed by hand with a soft sponge and dishwashing soap.

Oyster Series is all about decadence—not just in the obvious, luxurious sense, but in the way things change, erode, and become something new. I’ve always been fascinated by oysters: how they used to be everyday food for the poor, and now they’re one of the most exclusive things you can eat. That shift says so much about how we assign value to things.

There’s also something really beautiful about the oyster itself. The shell is rough, odd, even a bit ugly—but crack it open and inside there’s this smooth, glowing mother-of-pearl. That contrast is everything to me. It feels like a metaphor for hidden beauty, for how something raw and strange can still be precious.

And of course, pearls. These perfect, delicate things, created inside something so unlikely. That feels like magic—and like a quiet form of transformation. With Oyster Series, I’m trying to capture all of that: the indulgence, the contradictions, the slow alchemy of nature turning grit into treasure.

The oyster shells are food-safe and can be washed by hand with a soft sponge and dishwashing soap.

About Sugoi Studio Visit Showroom →

Charlotte Kølkjær, the ceramic artist behind Sugoi Studio, explores the beauty and indulgence of life through hyper-realistic sculptures in white stoneware. From ashtrays and half-empty plates to oyster shells, Kølkjær's creations are symbols of decadence—the remnants of a night well-lived. In her hands, these “ugly leftovers” are polished, over-aestheticized, and perfected, challenging conventional beauty and celebrating moments of unapologetic indulgence. With a hint of self-irony, her work examines the millennial obsession with aestheticizing everyday life, from the curated chaos of “not-trying-too-hard” social media images to her fondness for seashells and vintage typography. Through meticulous detail and a touch of nostalgia, Kølkjær invites us to see these fragments as moments worth celebrating, polished, and perfected in their imperfection.
