Post-Fair Discovery: decorative items
Our September edition has just come to a close, and once again this season, contemporary design has shone with its creativity and the quality of craftsmanship on display. Discover here our selection of the most beautiful objects spotted at the fair.
ITA vases
The minimalist vases ITA 01 and ITA 03 are made from milled Brazilian soapstone and designed by siblings Susana Bastos and Marcelo Alvarenga. Inspired by the indigenous Tupi peoples of Brazil, the designers decorated the vases with wood and brass ornaments that refer to the traditional Tupi body accessories. Besides this, the word ita in Tupi language can be translated in English to stone. Soapstone is a naturally porous stone that should not be used with water or any other liquid. The colour of soapstone can vary from a gentle beige to bright blue and silvery grey.
Cadzand
Cadzand is a ceramic art object by the Belgian artist Vicky Courtens. It is inspired by the breakwaters in the Dutch seaside town of Cadzand. The piece radiates timelessness and surprises the beholder with its minimalist and eye-catching design that invites to take a closer look. This design objects are manufactured by hand in the artisanal ceramics studio Arte Factory at the west coast of Portugal. Cadzand is available in black, metallic and white. Small differences in colour and size are a natural result of the artisanal manufacturing process.
