AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A circular sculpture that seems carved by wind and earth, where 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 that rise from the bottom and barely touch 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 features a sandy and golden granulometry in ochre and beige tones, enriched by darker shades and streaks of rust and burnt earth color. These chromatic variations seem almost to 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 '60s and '70s: an ideal meeting point between Space Age futuristic design and sinuous shapes inspired by nature. It is not just a vase, but a monolithic sculpture conceived to catch light from every angle, transforming the emptiness at its center into the true protagonist of the work.
