Multifunctional Silver Vessel, Sculptural Object by Raju Peddada - "Jupiter"

About the Item

Legendary astronomer's postulation sets the renaissance in motion. Here, small moons, fixed in their heliocentric orbit, reveal fantastic journeys of the future. "Jupiter" is a remarkable example of minimalist design and natural form. This proto-type by designer Raju Peddada is a shift in contemporary decorative furnishings with an interactive design that reaches out to engage, entice, challenge and inspire the observer on an intellectual level. A multi-functional piece, the vessel can display a variety of items or turn it on its head and it serves as a holder for a platter or bowl. Raju Peddada Jupiter, circa 2003 sterling silver, exotic alloy metals 11h x 11w x 11d in 27.94h x 27.94w x 27.94d cm RPD027 The unique aesthetic appeal of Peddada designs derives in large part from their configurability, which leaves the final act of creative expression to the end user. In a very real sense, no piece is finished until if finds its assigned role in the owner's environment. At a time when technology is popularly denounced for its tendency to destroy, Peddada designs celebrate a passion for playful creativity that lifts the human spirit - advancing the proposition that beauty lies not in the eye, but in the intellect of the beholder.

  • Large and Stunning Sculptural Silver Vessel Graziella Laffi
    By Graziella Laffi
    Located in Atlanta, GA
    A large sterling silver vessel in an asymmetrical hour-glass vase form with a larger upper conical body balanced on a much smaller base. Crafted by Graziella Laffi, Lima, Peru, Circa 1965. Marked on the rim: G. Laffi, PERU. The vessel was designed as a modern rendition of ancient pre-Columbina drinking vessel used in ceremony. The piece projects a regal and substantial aura due to its thick double wall construction with seamless craftmanship. The exterior surface was decorated with high relief roundels with concentric rings, arranged in geometrical pattern in two difference sizes. It is an impressive presence with its unique form and ornamentation that is modern and ancient at the same time. The vessel weights about 2012 grams. Graziella Laffi was born in 1923 in Florence, Italy to Gino Laffi, a silversmith and artist. Following her family tradition, Graziella enrolled in master classes after elementary school, focusing on design and painting. She next attended Escuela de Bellas Artes de Puerta Romana for three years, where Gino taught, and then to the Accademia di Belle Arti di Firenze, where she concentrated in architecture until the start of World War II. In 1947, Graziella, then twenty-four, immigrated with her parents to Peru. Gino later created a silversmith studio and showroom called Fabrica Laffi on Avenue Mexico, where Graziella initially learned her Craft. The Pre-Columbian culture in her adopted country inspired Graziella to travel and collect, which ultimately influence her design in the silver pieces. Graziella learned the metalworking techniques of the ancient Peruvian civilizations and rejected the current technology. She mostly used hammering, rolling and creating joints as the ancients do. As an ambassador of Peruvian culture, her work promoted the indigenous Peruvian art and rekindled the interest in its ancient heritage throughout South America, the United States and Europe. She exhibited her growing collection of Peruvian artifacts...
