Materials: handcrafted stone made with matera stone fragments, sedimentary rocks of the italian apennines and pure water, black mineral pigments from italian soils, smoked painted borosilicate glass. Cochleae vases collection is inspired by the life cycle of the snails and captures their growth when the invertebrate's body (represented by the curved glass) develops upwards from the embracing shell symbolized by semicircular shells handcrafted from fragments of historical stones only found in matera (città dei sassi, unesco world heritage, european capital of culture), recovered and reprocessed following a sustainable production cycle. The surface of the handcrafted stone piece is treated with an ecological substance developed by coki. See less
