Memphis Titicaca vase

Titicaca by Matteo Thun is a vase that explores the power of design through an ironic reinterpretation of classic forms. Part of the series of porcelain objects made for Memphis, this vase stands out for its unusual geometry and bold structure. The vase plays on the conical shape that grafts onto a hemisphere, creating a surprising visual effect and a dynamic between the elements that defies traditional expectations. The use of white as the dominant colour is not a random choice, but an expedient to shift the focus from colour to form. The observer is thus invited to actively participate in the aesthetic experience, perceiving and appreciating the particular composition of the vase. Made of hand-turned and shaped white porcelain, with kiln-sublimated decals, Titicaca reflects the craftsmanship that gives each piece its unique quality. This vase is not just a decorative object, but a proposal that stimulates reflection on design and its evolution, with a touch of irony that plays between tradition and modernity.
