Taurus Bowl
Taurus Bowl
Maria Paola studies ancient forms of vessels found throughout Sardinia and then reinterprets them - choosing a specific mix of clays for each form.
Each shape is painstakingly created by hand using the coil technique and then baked in a wood-fired clay oven. Rather than using glazes, she either stone polishes her pieces (creating a mystical, almost metallic finish) or treats them with a series of waxes. The Taurus Bowl is inspired by the large presence of anthropomorphic decorations in prehistoric Sardinian ceramics.
Designed by Maria Paola Piras for Sardinian-based design publisher, Pretziada.
7.9" L x 5.1" W x 3.4" H
Wood-fired mixed clays, beeswax

TRNK Collection Pillows
Information about the pillows
Kyre Chenven, a native Californian, and Ivano Atzori, Milanese by birth, moved to the southwest corner of Sardinia four years ago to begin working with artisans on resuscitating local craft. Kyre worked for years as a set designer in New York, while Ivano comes from the world of graffiti and contemporary art.
Together they work symbiotically as cultural translators: writing and photographing the particularities of the island, reproposing new designs of classic pieces, producing original designs of international creatives and assisting the artisans to shape their future trajectory. Research and narration are at the heart of their practice.
