Calpis Vase
Taxes included. Shipping costs calculated at payment.
The Calpis vase, designed by Fanny Laugier, is distinguished by its refined cylindrical shape enhanced by a play of horizontal and vertical lines in relief. Made from biscuit porcelain, this vase embodies the essence of modern, minimalist style. Its timeless simplicity means it blends harmoniously into a variety of environments.
Did you know? Calpis’ vases were generally used to store water or wine in ancient Greece. They were often placed in homes or temples and could also be used as decorative objects.
In porcelain, each piece is unique or made in very small series by hand.
Fanny Laugier is an enthusiast who, after an initial career as a biologist, decided to take her life into her own hands, turning it into a profession and working with clay. In her workshop in Poitiers, the ceramist works with a slab. She rolls out the clay, cuts, folds and assembles it, but the most astonishing thing is the material effects. She likes to leave imprints of corrugated cardboard, net and textile, playing with trompe-l'œil, creating a discrepancy between visual perception and the reality of the object.
Inspired by abstract painting and architecture of the 1950s, the construction of the pieces is based on simple geometric shapes - circles, squares and ellipses - transformed into volumes with a few cuts and folds, just like paper. Pushing back the limits of this material, the ceramist creates veritable sculptures of great finesse.
