Sculptural ceramics inspired by Nordic nature and craftsmanship. Simple yet expressive vessels explore form and material, blending the boundaries of functional design and art. Each piece is handcrafted, revealing the subtle nuances that make it one of a kind. 

Aava Collection

Vuono was founded in 2023 by Milja Bannwart, a Brooklyn based ceramic artist and designer. Her inspiration is rooted in childhood summers spent immersed in Finnish nature, crafting with foraged clay, fishing, and swimming. She strives to create ceramic objects that provide emotional value with their physical presence, and can become meaningful companions for years to come.
