This spherical sculpture is as volumetrically simple as it is artistically complex. Wrapped in prized white crape silk, the heart in red ceramic is a recomposition of fragments resulting from a spontaneous breakage during the firing. The cracks are enhanced and simultaneously concealed by tone-on-tone embroideries with silk thread that remind of the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with liquid gold. Each piece is unique and comes with a numbered and signed authenticity certificate.

Discovering the Artisan

Volpi
Toscana, Italy | Furniture Maker
Founded in Tuscany by Luigi Volpi in 1959 and taken on by his three sons, Volpi creates high quality furniture with a refined design made with exquisite materials. The unique character of these pieces lies in a mix of innovative techniques in cutting wood and finishing it, with traditional methods such as inlay and carving, gold and silver leaf, and painted decorations, all made by hand. Because of its commitment to the environment, Volpi uses wood sourced in certified forests, its varnishes are free from heavy metals, and a solar panel system powers its factory.Discover more
