Athari Functional Sculpture by Andrei Clontea Dimensions: W 20 x D 28 x H 29 cm Materials: Ceramics It’s important to note that due to the hand-building process, each piece may present slight differences. This adds to their unique charm and individuality. Open for customisation (size and finishes), provided it enhances the overall piece. Athari Ceramic functional sculptures featuring organic shapes and earth-like textures. The blend art, design, craft and utility, inspired by nature's beauty. Fluid forms and tactile textures turn these ceramic objects into both practical design items and artistic expressions. The lamp's story unfolds as a tale of a wounded heart, seamlessly drawing inspiration from the mysteries of nature. In its quest for closure, it mirrors the fortitude of fallen trees, which appear lifeless but reveal their purpose within aged hollows, offering refuge for resilient life forms. They stand as a testament to nature's enduring spirit amid decay. The soft radiance from the lamp serves as a metaphor for a "retreat into one's inner self," mirroring fallen trees' role in offering shelter within their bark. The light symbolically guides one to an inner sanctuary, a refuge for the broken heart during emotional turmoil. It reveals dormant strength, much like life within tree crevices. This metaphor captures the idea of finding solace within, mirroring nature's ability to nurture life amid decay. This creation signifies that within heartache, innate radiance emerges, a testament to human resilience. It resonates with how fallen trees foster life within their own decay, offering a compelling allegory of closure and rejuvenation. Andrei Clontea is a self taught artist who has seamlessly transitioned from the world of architecture to the realm of ceramics. Splitting his time between Luxembourg and Brussels, he has embarked on an artistic journey exploring the infinite possibilities that clay has to offer. His work manifests as sculptural forms that draw inspiration from the elegance of nature, the grace of animals, and the complexity of human body. By translating these influences into organic shapes with earthy textures, he brings a harmonious balance between rawness and refinement. While nature serves as a wellspring of inspiration, his artistic vision transcends its mere replication. His architectural background manifests in his approach as he weaves elements of structure, texture and light into his ceramic pieces. It is through this fusion of natural and architectural sensibilities that his art assumes a distinct character – a dialogue between seemingly contrasting elements. Through his sculptural forms he invites viewers to embark on a sensory journey where they can explore the intricate relationship between human, nature, and architecture. less
This set of three white porcelain swallows in flight will add simple, modern style to your wall art. Titled "We three together flying" they remind me of a group of friends or a family group. The simplified shapes were inspired by classic design, including Art Deco and minimalist art. The pure white works well in many settings - it means they'll look great with black and white accents as well as with more colourful decor. They are made from high fired ceramic, so they're perfect for kitchens and bathrooms, because they don't mind steam and are easy to clean, but they'll look equally pretty in living areas, hallways and bedrooms. They're easy to arrange in a way that suits your space, so they're great for tricky spaces and hallways. They have the subtle texture of imprinted feathers in the surface, and I cut each one by hand, so no two are identical and you can be sure that your set is unique. Each one measures approx 5.75 inches (14.5 cm ) and is super easy to hang from a single nail in your wall. If you'd like to change the angle then you can easily do so by using a little wall putty or blu tack under the beak. This set is for a set of three exactly like those in the first image. These can be made the other way around too - get in touch if you would like that option!

“Extremely resilient yet fragile” is how artist Karolina Romanowska describes the moody, anthropomorphic characters that comprise her series of sculptural works. Romanowska hand-builds a vast array of fantastical personas from clay, using a combination of slabs, coils, and molds to form flat tongues, individual teardrops, and horns with pointed tips. The contradictions inherent within the figures’ expressions are the conceptual counterpart to the ceramic material, she says, referring to both its ability to withstand fire and its propensity to fracture or burst upon impact.

Stockholm-based ceramicist Caroline Harrius (previously) embroiders vases with floral patterns that explore the relationships between gender and craft and decoration and purpose. Distorting perceptions, the delicate pieces appear as though Harrius wrapped stitched fibers around a glazed vessel, or in a parallel manner, sculpted fabric to mimic a curved form. Harrius punctures the shiny, semi-functional vases with holes and then pulls through threads to produce patterns and floral motifs that explore gender norms and hierarchies in craft history, specifically focusing on those typically associated with women.
