Delving for the first time into the world of ceramic, we’re proud to present  Oxymoron, a collection of vases designed by Patricia Urquiola. Each vase is a one-of-a-kind piece in ceramic made by hand by skilled artisans who reproduce the smoothing action of water and wind on the rock, on the earth, on life. 

Urquiola’s goal for this project is to pay homage to nature and to its passage. The passing of time is witnessed by evocative traces  that are combined with a brightly enameled finish. Each vase – available in four colors, green, light blue, pink and light yellow – is handcrafted half of glazed ceramic while the other half features a texture crossed by gently carved cavities. It takes several steps and processes to get to the final result: a contemporary vase with a worn out by time flair. There is no identical vase to the other, just like any other natural expression of the earth. The challenging treatment behind this project forced Editions Milano’s artisans to push beyond the boundaries of typical ceramic manufacturing and to create and mix new craft techniques.

Oxymoron is now available for pre-order! Buy your favorite color from those available – pink, light blue, green and light yellow – to make sure you get it before others.
