Orla Ceramics

Made slowly, sold quickly

Identity · Packaging

2025

Orla throws about 200 pieces a month in a basement in Delfshaven and sells them in monthly online drops that used to crash a Shopify theme.

The drop is the product. People set alarms for it, so the brand could lean into waiting instead of hiding it.

A soft, fat wordmark that looks thrown rather than drawn, terracotta and oat as the only colours and a countdown as the home page.

Boxes with a numbered tag for every piece, a drop page with a waiting list and a monthly poster that announces the glaze.

Drops now sell out in under four minutes, and the waiting list has 3,400 names.

A two-person pottery that sells out every batch. The brand had to be as calm as the work and as quick as the drops.
