Large Porcelain and Lava Stone Decorative Bowl/Vessel or Centerpiece

About the Item

Enjoy a nice big bowl of 'Stracciatella', by Tellurico, a multidisciplinary design studio based in the Netherlands. This centerpiece-worthy, one-of-a-kind, generously-sized vessel contains volcanic lava stones gathered from the hills of the Phlegrean Fields in the south of Italy, combined with an ultra-white porcelain paste. The lava stones are added to the white porcelain paste, resulting in a brilliantly adorned ceramic work of art. During the firing, the lava melts and bursts through the porcelain creating a striking and unexpected texture ('Stracciatella' in Italian means 'little shred'). The two chemical structures, of the two materials, bond perfectly together creating an, even more, stronger porcelain. The sheen and shimmer of the glassy, black lava stones against the starkness of the matte, white porcelain provides a high impact contrast of rarefied natural beauty. Designer Information: After graduating with the Master of Contextual Design at Design Academy of Eindhoven, in 2017 Francesco Pace founded Tellurico, a multidisciplinary design studio specialised in objects, spaces and installations design. The investigation of alternative solutions through the study of folklore, together with the relationship between crafts and the environment has been the centre of Tellurico’s practice. The context in which a project is born has been the primary focus of these years' research. What binds the objects of a place to the characteristic of the place itself intertwines the historical, geological and social aspects of humankind, as well as the uniqueness and simplicity of everyday life. It is an always expanding field of investigation, as endless are the ways to live. To date, Tellurico’s works have been presented in many international venues such as Biennale of Architecture in Venice, Van AbbeMuseum in Eindhoven, M.A.D.RE. in Naples, Triennale di Milano, Bröhan Museum in Berlin, Beirut Design Fair, Italian Pavilion in Barcelona, Zoya Gallery in Bratislava and others. He works closely with private clients and received commissions from different galleries such as Side-Gallery in Barcelona, Mint London, Camp Design Gallery and Functional Art Gallery in Madrid.

  • Sculptural Accent Chair, Side Table or Decorative Stool in Hand-Carved Beeswax
    By Rooms Studio
    Located in New York, NY
    This one-of-a-kind sculptural beeswax chair with sides is designed by Rooms Studio in collaboration with Shotiko Aptsiauri and was produced in Tbilisi, Georgia. The molded, beeswax sculpture, which can be interpreted as a stool, seat, side table or art object, is cylindrical in shape with two rectangular blocks at the top, representing a backrest or arms for the seat. About the Design Studio: Works of Rooms Studio refers to the sculptural forms and abundant materials in juxtaposition with the feminine instincts. Born and raised in Tbilisi, Georgia, the duo behind the Rooms, Nata Janberidze and Keti Toloraia, lean towards preserving the inherited craftsmanship techniques unique to the region. Massive wood and stone objects are hand-crafted using traditional techniques to create raw and symbolic forms often rooted in the designers' childhood memories. Growing up in a culturally diverse environment, where the two worlds - Western and Eastern collide, remarkably influenced their design language. Over the years, Rooms has created eight independent collections and collaborations equally memorable and representative of the duo's perpetual mission to bring life to omitted elements of a former life. Through their series of works, Janberidze and Toloraia try to examine the boundaries between the public and private. Experiencing adolescent years in the 90s - a significant decade of cultural and societal shifts - their work is a narrative of personal experiences of womanhood. By contrasting the new feminine monumental shapes with architectural brutality, Rooms challenges the status quo and also bridges the conventional and contemporary design with a confluence of female energy. The studio’s largest U.S. exhibition to date, Distant Symphony, expands upon this impulse to focus inward. The title is again a chief concern—some of the objects included here were designed during the global pandemic, under a regime of forced isolation that made the studio’s typically collective work process untenable. The pieces shown here are the results of Rooms’ search for a way forward. The first room, an antechamber of sorts, evokes the intimate quality of a private home. Shown here are trinkets and personal effects chosen by Janberidze and Toloraia for their emotive qualities; a low background noise emphasizes the climate of urban domesticity. The ensuing gallery space features highlights of Rooms’ recent design output. Here, the subtle scent of organic materials provides a sensory indication of the atelier’s interest in dichotomies: natural and man-made, personal and collective, local and cosmopolitan.   In light of the global circumstances, Janberidze and Toloraia felt it was especially important to pursue collaborative work. Rooms invited three artists—Shotiko Aptsiauri, Salome Chigalashvili and Mariana Chkonia—to conduct a dialogue and shared design process. As such, this exhibition is a kind of polyphonic meditation on a need for solitude and desire for companionship. The practice of polyphonic singing, essential to Georgian folk culture, is reinterpreted here as a design endeavor. Chigilashvili, working with unprocessed yarn, interpreted folk motifs by adapting embroidery to the scale of furniture with expansive stitches applied to painted boards...
