Bikafe Set

Kolektiv DVA is a group of artist from Slovenia, currently living and working in Ljubljana. Combination of traditional pottery making techniques and their minimalist aesthetics results in the beautifully handcrafted accessories for the modern home. Kolektiv DVA is involved in every aspect of production – from designing to creating the items, so they have control over the quality of materials used and final results. They produce small, unique batches that are made with dedication and are handcrafted to perfection. Their goal is to create less in order to give you more.

How is your Bikafe set made?
Bikafe set is handmade using slip casting technique. As explained by Kolektiv DVA: “In slip casting we use liquid clay or stoneware that we pour into plaster moulds we design and make ourselves. The technique allows us to be able to produce very precise and consistent shapes in bigger batches, with no compromise on quality. We then pour liquid clay/stoneware to a mould, leaving it to dry. After taking the Bikafe set out of a mould, we leave it to dry and then sand it into final shape. Then follows bisque firing, cooling, cleaning, hand-glazing and final firing.”
