Rectangular Vase - Matte Black, White, Ceramic

The ceramic rectangular vase draws inspiration from the monochromatic optical designs of the 1960s, with a geometric pattern created through latex masking techniques. Its construction involves three firing stages — the first to solidify the fresh earth poured into a plaster mould, followed by two additional firings for the black and white layers of detailing. The contrasting matte black and white finishes produce a bold geometric surface with strong visual depth.

The monochromatic optical designs popular in the 1960s were the source of inspiration for Nuove Forme's rectangular vase, in which a geometric design is created through latex masking. Three stages of firing are required for the vessel to take its final shape — the first to solidify the fresh earth poured into a plaster mould, then twice again for both the black and white layers of detailing.
