The Perfect Union
Every year in the coldest weeks of the winter season, strange sculptures begin to appear in the fields all over the island. It is the moment for grafting.
Wild olive trees grow throughout the island and they produce perfectly tiny olives with a thin and bitter skin. However, though the oil from wild olives is supposedly superior to that of domesticated varieties, the yield is much, much lower. And so the grafting game begins.

Abundance Vase
in collaboration with Sam Baron and Walter Usai
€ 360,00
Inspired by the lush and overgrown Sardinian countryside, which often clashes strikingly with the abandoned and unfinished architecture, Sam Baron has created an unusual vessel using Sardinian decorations and techniques. At first glance, the decoration seems to be decaying or chipped but, looking further, one notes new decorations sprouting up in unexpected ways and places. In collaboration with the ceramicist Walter Usai (a fifth generation artisan), the Abundance Vase stands in contrast to its mismatched twin, the Talisman Vase.
Materials:
Tuscan terracotta with unleaded glaze
Height 26 cm - Diameter 25 cm
Most pieces are made to order. All measurements are approximate as each vase is handmade by our artisans.
