Let us take you on a journey! This editorial celebrates the beauty of everyday rituals - from grocery runs to spontaneous game nights with friends. Through glass and ceramic pieces designed by our students, we captured the playful little moments that make ordinary days feel special.

Plate by Sanna Vuorenmaa, glass and mug by Sanni Salokero, cup by Jenny Kahri, green spoon by Arsėnija Judžentaitė, clear spoon by Yasoda Vithanage
