With Love pets, Belgian artist Rudy Vancanneyt combines contemporary design with powerful imagination. As if brought to life from a fairy tale, each Love pet carries a realistic human expression and animal elements. The main themes around these three ceramic art objects are passion and endless affection. Vancanneyt’s limited edition Love pets are handmade in an artisanal ceramic studio in Portugal. Due to the complex shape of these pieces, they need to be produced using eight to ten moulds and three firing stages. This intricate and labour-intensive production process make the Love pets a true testament to world class design and craftmanship.
