About

The colorful and energetic Kyoto Vase is part of our Black Magic collection, inspired by the concept of revealing that which has been hidden from sight, but remains ever-present. Gazing toward the past, to cultures and civilizations at the edge of our awareness, we sought out places where magic and ritual are ingrained in all aspects of life. We chose to name our pieces for these places where we found our inspiration for both pattern and palette. The Kyoto vase is composed of a completely unique palette of pigmented resin. The resin is poured into a mold, layer by layer, building the piece from the outside in. Once it had reached a desired thickness, we carved, sanded and polished it all by hand in our Los Angeles studio to reveal hidden layers of color and unexpected graphic patterns.

About The Maker

Elyse Graham

View Profile

Founded in 2014 and based in Los Angeles, the Elyse Graham studio is a place where unusual materials and experimental processes are implemented to create a melding of art and object. We design by making--with a sense of curiosity, wonder and joy. We design and produce every piece by hand in our Los Angeles studio. The work is driven by the processes Graham develops for the very specific materials she uses, most notably plaster and resin. Our one of a kind Drip Vases are created with a process Graham designed to cast plaster inside of a flexible latex balloon mold. The interiors of the vessels are then sealed with layers of poured resin, making them functional pieces. Graham has also created a technique for dying the plaster exterior of the vases. Each piece is hand dip-dyed, layer by layer, and then sealed with a protective coating. This series of vessels, dyed in muted earth tones, is inspired by glacial erosion, layered metamorphic rock, and the magnificent coastal landscapes of the artist's native California. Our new Black Magic Collection of resin vessels and furniture is inspired by the concept of revealing that which has been hidden from sight, but remains ever-present. Work from the Elyse Graham studio has recently been published in T Magazine, Veranda, Harper's Bazaar, House Beautiful, and Interior Design, among others.
