CLEAN-AIR-CITY-CERAMICS

Glazed circular building ceramics with a very unique aesthetic. Distinctive and sustainable and therefore a valuable addition to the palette of materials for the (interior)architect.

Clean-Air-City-Ceramics closes a loop. Harmful particulate matter that is captured directly from the polluted air in heavy industry is given a place in the production of glazes for architectural ceramics. This not only results in the elimination of health risks in an improved working environment, it also results in a circular building material. Residual waste from this major environmental problem becomes a special material with a purpose.

Here you can see an example of a tile made from 60% recycled materials and finished with a waste glaze from the Clean-Air-City-Ceramics series.

The Clean-Air-City-Ceramics series shows an infinite palette of possibilities and surprising factors that are a pleasure for the eye. “When public space becomes a living space, beauty is a very important factor.”

Custom designed ceramic glazes offer infinite possibilities for light reflection, absorption, textures and layering in the façades of buildings, interiors and the public realm. My designs aim to contribute to architecture that extends beyond the standard options and includes the possibilities of ceramics early in the design process.

Ceramics can be recycled over and over again without losing the quality of the material.

Citizens have an intrinsic relationship with their immediate living environment based on a number of values, in which sustainability and the concept of inclusivity have become prominent.

Architects and interior designers no longer focus solely on the physical exterior and interior, but are becoming increasingly relevant in the diverse places where people come together. Studio Christine Jetten responds to this development by designing valuable materials – shapes and surfaces – for these new insights.
