Wearable vase - Vases & Vessels

Featured In Bratislava, Slovakia

Price $1,030

It's amazing how plants find their place sometimes in the most unexpected places. On a solid wall of a five-story building. On the stone steps. They make their way through the asphalt, sprout through the fences. Making no difference, just growing under the sky. I have always been attracted to this play of urban constructions and rebellious nature. Observing, rethinking the position of plants in our urban life, I create vessels that convey the spirit of these complex relationships. I prefer to work with natural materials, sometimes I create ceramics literally from the clay dug out of the earth the day before. In the process of creating a vessel, I think first of all about the basic functions of the vessel: keeping water and how my vase will hold and support the plant. When you set your focus in this way, you can move further from the usual perception of a vase. As if closing our palms, we try to hold water in our hands, we personify complete unity with nature and love for it. And I created an intermediary object which puts the connection into practice and carries a piece of nature right on you.
Shopping in the fields. The wearable vase is made from stoneware clay in sand color, with a white glance glaze inside. The vase is fixed on the body with leather straps that resemble a bandage in design and feel. The object is an accessory that allows you to carry a bouquet of fresh flowers, creating the image of a person who has just gone shopping for them in the fields.
Being hung on the wall with a bouquet of flowers creates an impression of beautiful artwork. One of the features of construction is it's multifunction - an accessory or an interior object.
Size. Height 30 cm, Width 10cm.

ZHENI is a ceramic design studio. Started my professional career as an architect and later as an interior designer, I continue to work with space now by placing my objects in it. Mostly I work with clay as with one of the ancient and natural material human worked with. The perception of the way material got through the thousands of years in different cultures all around the globe gives me a dose of inspiration. Also, I’m inspired by brutalist architecture and contemporary urban and landscape design. Paying attention to relationships between human and nature on the city site, making connections between different natural phenomenas give me an opportunity to achieve unobvious results during the design process. My works may be characterized by the purity of form, naturalness, and minimalism in colors. The design method can be described as a practice-led exploration of harmony between form, texture and natural color of the material to create sculptural and functional objects hand-made and fired in Studio in Bratislava.
