About the Item

A set of 5 tactile and organic porcelain vases with leather textured exterior surface and clear glazed interior. As a result of the production process each item is one-of-a-kind. Set includes 5 vases as shown in the image. This set of vases requires the most technical, detail-oriented work of any object in the Kawa Series. Each vase requires a complex mold - some with over 30 pieces of leather. Once cast each leather panel is delicately removed resulting in this expressive and highly-unique set of limited edition vases. Edition of 12 sets total + 1 A.P. Signed, numbered, and dated on the bottom. In stock, ready to ship. (1 set) From tallest to shortest: 4.5" diameter. x 14.5" 5" diameter. x 11" 4" diameter. x 9.5" 3.5" diameter. x 7", 3.5" diameter. x 5" The Kawa Series is a collection of porcelain objects that are made by casting liquid clay into sewn leather molds. The precarious and beautifully-involved process is completely unique to Luft Tanaka Studio, and results in truly one-of-a-kind art objects. All pieces are handmade in Brooklyn at Luft Tanaka Studio. Each Kawa piece starts as a sketch on paper. With the assistance of a 3-D modeling program, Luft creates patterns to be cut out of leather. After the leather mold, which can be reused about a dozen times, is sewn and prepared, liquid porcelain is poured inside. As the porcelain sits inside the mold, it forms a thin wall along the leather surface picking up the leather texture and organic form from the flexible leather mold. Once dry, the leather mold is carefully cut open using a seam ripper and delicately peeled off the piece which is then carefully finished by hand.
