AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A circular sculpture that seems carved by the wind and the earth, where the ceramic material continually dialogues with the empty space. The external silhouette, perfectly ring-shaped, encloses inside it a fluid and organic movement: two waves or stylized flames rising from the bottom and brushing almost at the center, creating a rhythmic play of curves and visual counterpoints.
What makes this piece extraordinarily tactile is its material finish. The surface is not smooth nor uniform, but presents a sandy and golden granulometry in ochre and beige tones, enriched by darker shades and veining in colors like rust and burnt earth. These chromatic variations seem to almost surface from the rock naturally, giving the ceramic an primordial soul.
Designed by Roberto Rigon, this work perfectly synthesizes the spirit of Italian art ceramics of the 1960s and 1970s: an ideal meeting point between the futuristic Space Age design and the sinuous forms inspired by nature. It is not merely a vase, but a monolithic sculpture conceived to capture light from every angle, transforming the void at its center into the true protagonist of the piece.
