Playground Grey Vase by Erica Zanella
About the Item
Playground Grey Vase by Erica Zanella
Dimensions: D 7 x W 25 x H 30 cm.
Materials: Plaster.
The smooth lines of Playground evoke a sense of gentleness The simplicity of its soft form is highlighted by a large, rounded central opening with a subtle bulge on the upper left side. The sculpture as a whole exudes harmony and fluidity, striking a perfect balance between solid and empty spaces.
Castones is a garden full of sculptures, a sculpting space. The inspiration comes from the desire to turn stones into art, considering sculptures not as autonomous objects but as forms that relate to the viewers and the environment.
Merging art and design in striking contemporary sculptural items, Castones was founded in 2019 by the Italian architect Erica Zanella.
Castones feature organic and minimalist silhouettes characterized by irregular curves and sinuous shapes. Their asymmetry is harmoniously balanced, creating an overall sense of elegance.
The internal opening attracts the viewer to see through, hinting at the sculpture’s potential function. These soft, sinuous openings evoke a sense of natural erosion, lending the piece an organic quality as if it were shaped by nature rather than human intervention.
The surface of the sculpture has a grainy texture that suggests the raw quality of natural stone. The contrast between the material’s inherent fragility and its stone-like appearance adds depth, encouraging viewers to contemplate the interplay between the delicate nature of plaster and the enduring presence of stone.
The sculptures are handcrafted solid gypsum monolith, meticulously colored and waterproofed to ensure lasting durability.
Over the years, Castones has taken part in international exhibitions in Paris and Milan. It has collaborated with renowned design brands for photo shoots and installations during Milan Design Week, solidifying its presence in the contemporary design scene. Additionally, it has developed innovative projects recognized for their creativity and craftsmanship.

Galerie Philia
Galerie Philia is an international contemporary sculptural design and art gallery representing emerging and established designers and artists. The gallery is the brainchild of two brothers who share a lifetime passion for art, literature and philosophy. Their distinct academic background sets them apart from their peers, as it sees them following a rhizomatic and transcultural approach in the way they select works. This involves combining elements from multiple cultures in what becomes a network of harmoniously interconnected roots, ultimately revealing the beauty of each unique creation. The gallery’s non-hierarchical curation sits apart from the ephemerality of trends and focuses instead on the true aesthetic quality of the piece – alluring and timeless. Unlike others, Galerie Philia does not focus on a single style – whether minimalist, organic or raw – but rather embraces heterogeneity. The Galerie Philia takes pride in discovering new talents, providing them with multiple international platforms to showcase their latest creations. As well as propelling the newest generation of 21st century collectible design, Galerie Philia also works with internationally known design artists. Galerie Philia has a strong international presence, with galleries in Geneva, New York and Singapore. In addition to their permanent spaces, the gallery organizes temporary group exhibitions and artists residencies in first-class locations around the world.
