Hi I'm Krittika (Duen) and I left my full-time job in 2017 to follow my dream of running my own little venture.
Posy & Pot was born out of my passion for artisanal handicrafts. I have always been fascinated how unique and beautiful they are, so I wanted to introduce these products to the international market and to promote craftsmanship from developing countries. At the same time, I’ll be able to help artisans and local communities to generate additional income and continue working on things they love.
The first product range that I’ve been working on is paper flowers. These flowers are handmade with great respect to both the environment and ancestral knowledge using local sustainable materials and traditional dying techniques.
I have also discovered a passion for making ceramics and in 2018 launched my own hand-thrown ceramics collection. Most of my works are inspired by the Japanese wabi-sabi aesthetic that the beauty is the view on acceptance of transience and imperfection, and the minimalism with clean design.
Going forward, I’ll continue to create more ranges of craft product that, hopefully, people will love and enjoy using in everyday life.
