KYO Vases
Snorre Læssøe Stephensen, 1962
KYO was designed in 1962, by Snorre Læssøe Stephensen, one of the forefathers of the Danish ceramic tradition. The collection carries traces of both Scandinavia and Japan. Both functional and sculptural, the new collection from mazo is very Scandinavian and Japanese at the same time. The series consists of cups, pitchers, and vases made of porcelain and stoneware. Functionality and simplicity define these products - they are modest and have an almost stern expression, yet with a delicate touch.

The KYO series is designed by Snorre Læssøe Stephensen, one of the forefathers of the
Danish ceramic tradition.
Porcelain has been a passion of Snorre Læssøe
Stephensen for half a century. His early days as a
craftsman were spent at the Royal Porcelain Factory,
which was his workplace for a long period of time.
However, it was his father, designer and architect
Magnus Læssøe Stephensen, who introduced him
to the world of porcelain and clay.
