'Arcadia' vase, sand

Nodding to the Greek region of Arcadia, this vase by Nuove Forme evokes the idyll and purity of this landscape, which has been revered since the beginning of time. Here, it manifests in the shape of a fully spherical sand matte vessel, which is characterized a 'riccio' — hedgehog — detailing across its entirety in the shape of a series of uniform raised nodules. In pairing this decoration, and its synonymity with the 'seed', with a round feminine silhouette, the ceramic vase offers a poetic commentary on the circularity of life and energy, as well as the contrast and union of the masculine and feminine.
