Sip and Sense

Created for a dessert café where indulgence meets intimacy, Sip & Sense, 2022 is a collection of hand-formed mugs and cups designed to invite you to slow down; feel the curves, sense the warmth, and truly taste each moment.

With soft forms and a calming palette, these vessels transform every sip into a sensory experience, perfect for pairing with sweet bites, shared laughter, and quiet pauses.

What you’ve been saying

  • “Within, Sensual Eating just delighted me. Obviously, there’s something erotic about these forms, which undercuts the seriousness of the Western canon and Western modes of eating. There is so much etiquette around the formality of the setup, how much you must separate yourself from the food through cutlery as a distancing tool, to keep things ‘civilised’. There is a long, psychosexually complex history to this. The tactility of Within, Sensual Eating is gorgeous. It's fun to probe, to dig in, to swipe and look. This project says something about how repressed and anxiety ridden we are most of the time. Brilliant.”

  • I absolutely love this, this is my favourite colour and can't wait to display it in my new home, next to my bakeries.

    Sammy

  • “Juliana worked closely with us to understand the brief on our commission for art work to sit on the mantlepieces within a freshly renovated building which houses our new state of the art Rapid Diagnostic Centre in Harley Street. She understood the rich heritage of the building, including the links to King George VI’s speech therapy which was undertaken in one of the centre’s rooms in the 1930s. She was able to draw on this in her work and use these influences to create pieces that perfectly complemented and enhanced the interior design of the spaces. These thoughtful and unique pieces will be appreciated by patients and visitors for years to come.”

    The London Clinic

  • “I absolutely adore my bowl. Juliana totally understood what I was looking for and created a stunning piece which far exceeded my expectations. It looks amazing in the space it was designed for. I’m so impressed I’ve already bought more pieces for myself and gifts for friends and family.”

    Helen

  • “We were looking for a few pieces to decorate our shelves and didn’t want to shop with generic high street retailers. Juliana exceeded our expectations and we love our custom-made vase, bowl, and plate set. They are very unique and beautiful.”

    Dan

  • “My wife opened the gift today and LOVED it. She has already turned it into a home for her everyday jewellery. It looks like it's always been there!”

    Nic

  • "Absolutely thrilled with these beautiful pieces! They fit perfectly in my hand, so ergonomic! Originally bought them as gifts, but now I'm tempted to keep them all for myself!"

    Lili

  • "I'm so pleased with my purchase! I got a Blue Flower from the Flowers collection for my wife as a Christmas present, and she couldn't stop talking about how pretty it is. It's truly beautiful!"
