DETAIL
ARTS AND MATERIALS
-The Oceanographic vase was made by Bosa Trade, a ceramic studio founded in 1976 that lies between two hills in the Veneto region. -Combining time-honored techniques with a sense of experimentation, the studio is part of a long tradition of craftsmanship that attracted Jaime Hayon and Maison Matisse. -The vase is made from a white clay poured into large plaster molds and then carefully polished to eliminate any irregularities in the material. -Once glazed, the piece is decorated with the designer's drawings and then fired in a kiln 7 times at 930°C to achieve optimal quality and durability. -It takes nearly 15 hours of work and 18 hours of firing to create each of the three unique vases, including the Oceanographic vase.
INSPIRATION
-The Oceanographic vase is the result of Jaime Hayon joining forces with Maison Matisse and is a tribute by Jaime Hayon to Henri Matisse's work. -The designs on the vase bring to mind the Mediterranean landscapes which inspired Henri Matisse and inspire the Spanish designer. - The initial concept of the vases is based on fantastic elements: shapes, silhouettes and natural features that melt together and float in a sea of color."
