About the Item

Large Ikebana-style, hand-cast vessel in two parts for indoor and outdoor use. At the intersection of art, craft, and design, Concrete Poetics' debut collection of hand-cast cement sculptural furniture and accessories streamlines visually intriguing and dynamic forms juxtaposing the density of the material. Raw, brutal, visceral, and striking optical qualities are embedded in the ensemble of modular candle holders, bowls, vessels, side tables, and stools, alluding to ceremonies, rituals, and celebrations. The inspiration comes within the process. The shapes, patterns, and arrangements are created intuitively, informed by nature, land, and sea, to then later be articulated, making them suitable for casting. Ultimately exhilarated by the wabi-sabi sensibility, the urban and industrial surroundings, the final result is very organic, embracing the irregularity and the imperfection that makes every piece exceptional. THESE PIECES ARE NOT MASS-PRODUCED. THEY ARE HANDMADE LOCALLY IN NEW YORK CITY, ON-DEMAND OR SMALL-BATCH, USING ARTISANAL MOLD-MAKING AND CASTING TECHNIQUES. THEY ARE SUSCEPTIBLE TO INACCURACY AND DEVIATION DURING THE MAKING OF THE CASTS. THEREFORE THE EXECUTED PIECES ARE NOT IDENTICAL TO THOSE SHOWN IN THE PICTURES. IMPERFECTION AND UNIQUENESS ARE EMBRACED AND EMBOLDENED AS PART OF THE CREATIVE PROCESS AND AN INTRINSIC PART OF THE BRAND'S IDENTITY.

Chinese Drip Glaze Fish Pond, c. 1850
Located in Chicago, IL
Originally used for pickling food, this large earthenware jar was sculpted in China's Shanxi province nearly two centuries ago, shaped by hand with grand scale and wabi-sabi texture. The monumental vessel is cloaked inside and out with a beautiful drip glaze that lingers on every imperfection, streaming down the sides with rich color ranging from warm brown to cool black. Subtle ridges and indentations throughout suggest the jar was fashioned by coiling flattened ropes of clay and then tapped with a paddle to achieve a faceted texture. The interior is repeatedly stamped with a pattern suggestive of rippling water, encouraging the glaze to flow and drip with irregular movement and color variance. The rounded rim is left unglazed, the raw earthenware texture set in contrast to the glossy finish of the sides. Today, the monumental pot...
