Shiva Flower Vase by Ettore Sottsass

About the Item

Shiva flower vase by Ettore Sottsass Dimensions: D 7 x W 17 x H 23 cm Materials: Pink glazed ceramic. One of our favorite designs. It has been in production since 1973 and has converted into BD’s sign of identity all over the world. Sottsass designed the vase when traveling to Barcelona to meet up with a beautiful Catalan woman with whom he had fallen in love. “...I continue to produce small, small, small architectures, such as this ceramic piece, for example, a little like monuments, a little like tombs, a little like the abandoned temples of the gods, a little like the ruins of the ancient and unknown civilization in which something –they say– was known; it is said that they understood the axes, the curves, the intersections, perhaps even the causation of the courses of the cosmic bodies, along which each day slide the private vertices of the atoms that make up our fragile flesh and blood”. An illustrious figure launched the roster of designs in the first Bd catalog. Memphis was not to appear on the scene for another ten years, but Ettore Sottsasshad already by then been visiting India for a decade. His “little architectures”, such as this flower vase, owe a great deal to that culture. In 1972, a group of young architects and designers from Barcelona created BD with the aim of producing and marketing furniture and other objects for our projects, with complete creative freedom and with a criterion that has turned out to be quite different from the norm at companies in the sector, regarding both the shape and function.
