About the Item

An extension to the Ark series, these model sized stoneware sculptures unite a trilogy of elements – classical architecture being reinterpreted into modern design, skilled stonemasons’ precision in polishing intricately carved details by hand, and the beauty of raw travertine stone. Naturally occurring geological patterns present in travertine make each sculpture piece unique to the stone. In the Spiral sculpture, the repetition of horizontal lines integrated into a curved ascending profile is poetically juxtaposed against the Flight sculpture which emphasizes straight lines throughout. Material: Roman Travertine As a handcrafted product, each piece is unique. The natural qualities of the travertine stone could present certain cavities, variations in color tone, grains and texture. Observations of such differences across products or orders does not constitute a basis for order cancellation or product returns. Designed by Norm Architects, handcrafted by Filipe Eira. The Designer Norm Architects was founded in 2008. We work in the fields of industrial design, residential architecture, commercial interiors, photography and art direction. Much like human well-being, the essence of Norm Architects’ work is found in balance—between richness and restraint, between order and complexity. Each project—whether architecture, interiors, design or creative direction—is imbued with the same intrinsic quality: a simplicity that carries bigger ideas. Guided by the body and mind rather than by trends or technology, our projects explore ideas that not only look good but that also feel good: Architecture becomes thoughtful, minimalism acquires softness and visual matter assumes haptic qualities. Our work is sharp and crisp and exudes, tacitly, our focus on quality, details and durability. Situated in one of the oldest streets of Copenhagen, Denmark, we respect our context and build on the traditions of Scandinavian design—of timeless aesthetics, natural materials and upholding Modernist principles of restraint and refinement. Through exploring what it is that heightens the human senses regardless of personal preference, our projects strip spaces, objects, ideas and images back to their simplest form. Our expertise lies in finding the balance—when there’s nothing more to either add or take away. The Craftsman Filipe Eira and his family are stonemasons who own a workshop where different types of stone are transformed into unique pieces. After selecting a material, the stone is machined in order to cut the block into smaller pieces and to derive a general shape. The final detailing and polishing are still made by hand using rudimentary tools, where the eventual quality of a piece is deeply reflective of the experience of the craftsman responsible for the task. Care Instructions: Use a dry soft cloth. Do not use household cleaners.
