THE BRAND
CATTO Design Studio was founded in Brooklyn, NY, by Dutch artist Mariette Groen. Drawing on her Dutch roots, daily life in New York, and experiences in India, Italy, and London, Groen crafts ceramic pieces that balance sculptural expression with everyday function.
Her approach embraces experimentation and unpredictability: “When I work, one thing leads to another. It’s very organic, and pieces are always unique. You open the kiln, and there is a big surprise; I love that.”
CATTO’s work carries a sense of humor and airiness, designed not only to decorate but to serve practical roles in daily rituals. Each piece embodies her belief that beauty and function belong together.
