Serie 42

The Corduroy collection brings the warmth of corduroy fabric into ceramics. Vertical grooves travel across the surface, inviting both touch and contemplation. The relief enhances the play of light and shadow, evoking the softness of corduroy in contrast with the firmness of grogged clay.

In this model, the conical shape emphasizes a sense of upward motion. The vertical grooves follow this ascent toward the neck, where the piece opens in a broad gesture that highlights its sculptural character.

The piece is conceived as a quiet sculptural object that balances presence and restraint. Its proportions are designed to feel stable and grounded, while the gradual taper toward the neck creates a subtle sense of elevation. The corduroy-like texture transforms the surface into a rhythmic field of lines that guide the eye upward. As light moves across the grooves, the object changes continuously, revealing different shadows and highlights throughout the day. This dynamic interaction between form, texture and light gives the vase a calm but expressive character, allowing it to function both as a container and as a small architectural element within a space.
