The Paradise Workshop
Paradisverkstaden is a family-owned company that works with stoneware clay in all forms. We design and manufacture everything from small utility items and crockery to larger sculptural objects. The heart is on Öland, where Eva and Olof Paradis met during their craft training at Capellagården and later started Paradisverkstaden almost 50 years ago.
Typical of Paradisverkstaden's design language is the soft organic combined with tight contours, color, patterns and structures. Nature's forms and changes are a constant source of inspiration. In recent years, Paradisverkstaden has made several notable design collaborations, such as with the magazine Lantliv or the lifestyle store Grandpa.
"We think that new designers and new audiences are very rewarding, especially now that we are going through a generational change. We want everyone to experience how nice it is with clay and how the material can come in so many guises. When we design together with others, something new happens that surprises and inspires both us and the audience. "
Our beautiful shop and exciting workshop is a well-visited excursion destination on Öland that is open all year round. Here you can see exhibitions, be inspired, enjoy yourself, have a coffee inside or outside in the lush garden, peek into the workshop and buy art objects, beautiful things for the set table, the home or the garden.
We wish the visitor a sensual experience where ceramics and creativity are at the center with nature as our greatest source of inspiration.
For current opening hours, see Paradisverkstaden's website.
