Telling stories with wood

At her core, Marisa Klaster is a storyteller. First, through the medium of art direction, a career she excelled at for many years, and now, as a maker of hand-turned wooden objects that reflect and comment on the world around us. Some pieces are useful, some decorative, and other materials like stone and ceramic often join the narrative. Marisa has a knack for putting the fun in functional, like her stackable tableware in deep-toned American walnut, each piece realised in her workshop and destined for a discerning dining room.

‘Product designer Marisa Klaster’s monolithic wooden sculptures, on the other hand, are functional objects built by stacking smaller components one over the other. The fusion of function and play in Klaster’s works urges the viewer’s curiosity.’ – Embassies of Design, 2023
