STOMATA SERIES VASE 2 WHITE CLAY
The Stomata Series 2 in white clay from Athens-based ceramicist Anna Karountzou is like a luminous ceramic flower bud in the colour of ancient marble.
Its shape evokes a table lamp, yet it exists entirely as a sculptural object. It could hold flowers, but its weight and decorate presence render it complete on its own. The piece is both stuck out of time and embedded in the natural passage of material through fire and glaze.
We imagine this piece as an ostentatious yet approachable decorative ornament either inside or as a terrace centerpiece.
Mona commission in collaboration with the artist.
This is a limited collection. The materials and glazes’ earthy tones correspond with Mona’s interior elements.
Karountzou finds inspiration in nature, obsessed with the marks of time evidently present in the essence of corrosion her ceramics exude. All pots have been fired at a high temperature to ensure durability.
Formed by traditional techniques such as the coiling method, her works are each made by hand and constitute one-of-a-kind pieces.
Karountzou’s most recent experimentation with clay results in a sculptural breed between gothic and industrial, where clay takes on a metallic glaze.
Lorem ipsum, or lipsum as it is sometimes known, is dummy text used in laying out print, graphic or web designs. The passage is attributed to an unknown typesetter in the 15th century who is thought to have scrambled parts of Cicero’s De Finibus Bonorum et Malorum for use in a type specimen book.
