Blooming dome - Vases & Vessels

Price $1,410

Creation: 2-4 weeks

The Blooming Dome consists of three parts - the body of an object in the form of a dome (there is no bottom) with holes at the top for placing “leaves” shapes and plants, a cup for water which is hidden inside and the “leaves” themselves. In a process of making leaves shapes I let them get their free uncontrolled shapes in a kiln during the firing process in a high temperature by placing. Ready forms are placed in the structure to create the image of a plant stretching towards the sun.
This work calls for action: play, change the “leaves” in places, decorate the flower placed in it, or remove them at all. Natural ceramic constructor. The sculptural shape of the object makes it full and self-sufficient also without plants inside. You can literally make yourself a bouquet without flowers.

burning clay

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.
