The ensemble is defined by a powerful, textural juxtaposition of materials, demonstrating a masterful command of raw organic form against metallic weight.The main bodies of the vessels are individually hand-molded using capa, a dense organic casting matrix appreciated for its distinctive tonal warmth, silky matte texture, and fine, undulating marbling. Each vessel is structurally anchored into an unrefined, heavily weighted solid copper foot. The earthy, raw, and oxidized finish of the copper provides a warm, grounding, permanent architectural anchor that emphasizes the fluid, biological silhouettes of the pale vessels above.Featuring three identically proportioned chalice cups and a singular, tall pillar-like karaf, this striking set stands as a definitive example of brutalist object styling. It presents beautifully as a standalone collection on an entry console, within a minimalist architectural layout, or as part of an upscale tabletop display.
