Forms where clay and intuition meet
Marthine Fredrikke Spinnangr is an Oslo-based ceramic sculptor and product designer, distinguished for her refined organic forms and her highly intuitive, process-driven engagement with clay.
This unique cup, designed by Marthine Spinnangr in collaboration with Milla Studio (now Millalab), is inspired by sandstone—a sedimentary rock often found in deserts. Sandstone is formed when grains of sand are buried and bound together by minerals over time, creating a naturally rugged, multidimensional appearance.
The cup is crafted from three types of clay organically shaped into its distinct design. The exterior is left unglazed to emphasize the texture and highlight the raw, inherent quality of the natural material. Crucially, the surface texture of each cup is entirely unique, determined by how the clay settles during the forming process—meaning no two pieces are exactly alike.

The Ukiyo vases are meticulously handcrafted by Marthine Spinnangr using a white stoneware clay before being finished with three different glazes: a glossy white, a matte white, and a caramel-coloured glaze. This combination captures a unique and beautiful interplay of textures and tones on the surface.
The design of the vases is based on a morphed design process inspired by human poses, giving each piece an organic, evocative form. The name Ukiyo is Japanese, referring to the "floating world" and the aesthetic appreciation of the enjoyment and ephemeral pleasures of life.
As each piece is individually hand-formed by Marthine Spinnangr, every Ukiyo vase is entirely unique, ensuring no two are exactly alike.

Shop sculptures
Co-create
I create handbuilt stoneware sculptures made to order, designed specifically for your home and your space. This is more than just a sculpture—you and your environment inspire the work. I take the time to get to know your home, your aesthetic, and the energy of the space. Whether in person with a home visit or via Zoom if you live far from Oslo, we explore ideas together through sketches and conversation, so the final piece reflects not only the material and form, but the feeling of your home and your personal vision.

First, before anything, you need to start making yourself happy—not the kind of happiness that comes from someone else, but the kind that comes from being on your own path, in your own timing. When you do that, everything else falls into place, and you give life the reason it needs to live fully.
I can help you get back to yourself—connect with who you are underneath it all—and allow yourself to actually go for your dreams.
I work hands-on with you to design your life, mapping exactly what you want and building a concrete path to get there. Together, we uncover what’s been holding you back, dismantle the blocks, and translate your vision into clear, real-world actions. You’ll leave with a life design map: what to do, what to let go of, what to learn more about—and a staircase of steps showing how to move forward, one intentional step at a time.
