I spent some time in Cleveland this past weekend, which included at trip to one of the best antique stores I’ve ever been to: Sweet Lorain. While there, I looked an impressive collection of dog statues (and ended up buying a pooch known as a spaghetti poodle), and it got me thinking about Eleonor Boström‘s ceramic sculptures. I’ve long been a fan of how she marries form and function. Or, as Eleonor puts she depicts #dogsatwork. These pups are holding plant clippings, matches, and your morning cup of coffee—and they’re doing it all with a smile.
If you’re local to Stockholm, she’ll have some of these ceramic dogs (the ones with the faux fur and pops of color) in a solo show called SECRET ☻ PLACE. They’ll be at the blås & knåda gallery starting September 16.
Otherwise, Eleonor sells her work in her Tictail shop. (Shop update coming September 16.)
Eleonor Boström puts her ceramic dog sculptures to work. They hold your coffee, strike matches, and are a cozy home for your favorite plant clippings.
