"Cochlea Della Metamorfosi #1" Handcrafted Stone and Yellow Glass Vase by COKI
About the Item
Cochleae vases collection is inspired by the life cycle of the snails and captures their growth when the invertebrate's body (represented by the curved glass) develops upwards from the embracing shell symbolized by semicircular shells handcrafted from fragments of historical stones only found in Matera (Città dei Sassi, UNESCO World Heritage, European Capital of Culture), recovered and reprocessed following a sustainable production cycle. The surface of the handcrafted stone piece is treated with an ecological substance developed by COKI. The glass and stone components are not glued and can be separated, disassembled, and ready for new uses.
Metamorfosi - 1 symbolizes the snail's body (represented by the curved glass) that finally rises free towards the sky, supporting itself thanks to its shell (the stone components), divided into two parts.

CLEANING AND CARE
• Hand wash only
• Pay much attention during the movements to join the components, too abrupt maneuvers can mark the glaze of the glass.
• Clean the bottom inside of the vase simply filling it with wine vinegar and letting it sit for a whole day. Then pour the vinegar into a closed glass or plastic bottle and save it for the next use (do not throw the vinegar in the toilet or sink, it damages aquatic organisms). Rinse the jar with water and dry with a soft cloth.

COKI
With her eponymous housewares label, Italian product and architecture designer Coki Barbieri brings to life a new approach to natural materials through forms inspired by rationalist architecture and the morphologies of animal and plant kingdoms. The studio and design laboratory is located on the first hills of Rimini, overlooking the Adriatic Sea and surrounded by thick spontaneous vegetation, in which every little creature of the area is a constant source of inspiration. The geometries and connections between the elements are first designed with cardboard and cork prototypes, then defined with hand drawings and digitally. Handicraft production aims to recover local raw materials and preserve ancient working stone, glass, and metal methods. Combining notions of geology, chemistry, and design culture, COKI also offers new materials, starting from fragments and scraps of stone and mineral processing. Together with the craftsmen, Coki has developed a waste-free production and logistics chain. The production cycle exploits the sun and air's power to create many components of the projects, thus offsetting a part of the CO2 emissions due to borosilicate glass and stainless steel processing. In 2020 the brand won the Green Product Award and was internationally recognized for its sustainable and ethical approach to product design.
