About Haruko Noda

Born in Nagoya, Japan, in 1973.

I am fascinated by nature, influenced by my Japanese culture with lively Flemish accents. Water is a particular source of inspiration. Water never stops, it is always moving and continually transforms into different forms, lines and colours.

I create functional porcelain with fluid, moving forms inspired by water, adding an unexpected and refreshing accent.
