Gidon Bing

We have been working with Gidon Bing since the inception of Everyday Needs. Gidon is an Auckland based artist whose work has its roots firmly in modernism and the Avant Garde. His extensive line of ceramics has a distinctive touch that is both handmade and refined.

1. Hinoki bathroom stool

A well crafted, traditional design that is so timeless it remains modern.

2. Kami wooden mug with handle

The definition of good design – when nothing can be added without detracting.

3. Wooden muesli bowl

An exceptionally well proportioned vessel that becomes even more beautiful as a patina develops over time and with use.

4. Japanese copper grater

Beautiful, practical and perfect for sugarcane and ginger infused vodka.

5.  Hinoki bathroom tray

A modest but perfectly formed piece of practical, traditional Japanese joinery.
