Hand-sculpted terra-cotta curiosity cabinet.
Description:
A biomorphic-style shelf inspired by marine invertebrate colonies. The asymmetrical design features curvaceous lines, gentle undulations, and points of confluence reminiscent of the way organisms grow and intertwine in nature. The cabinet creates an engaging visual display that evokes a sense of movement and growth as if the shelf itself were a living organism expanding within the space. The use of red clay as a material evokes a natural texture feeling and contributes to the overall sustainability of the piece. At the heart of the structure sits a retractable drawer that can serve as a hiding shelter for a keepsake item or as an incredible placement for an engagement ring.
This handmade shelf seamlessly blends functionality and aesthetics, just like the structures found in nature. It provides ample storage and display space while serving as a striking focal point in the interior. The biomorphic shape inspired by coral and sponges, invites a deeper connection with the natural world, bringing harmony to the surrounding environment.
The Air Chamber Shelf measures 11x12x4 inches, and the drawer's inner dimensions are approximately 1.5x1X1.5 inches (length x width x depth). This is the third sculpture of the Red Shelf collection. Each Red Shelf has its own individual design and unique features. Each represents a unique and one-of-a-kind piece of decor.
I do my best to make photographs as faithful as possible. Depending on the light and your screen settings, the hues may appear slightly different from the original. Please, note that the videos of the product are reposted from my social media feed and may be altered by a filter.
The listing price is for one ceramic shelf with one drawer made of fired red clay. It does not include seashells and other display items shown in the photos. The shelf was produced in a smoke-free studio in the middle of Brittany, France.
Each item from my shop will be sent to you individually packaged and supplied with a description tag. It is ready to be gifted to yourself or someone special (no pricing information is included inside the packaging).
The heaviness of pottery items and extra packaging precautions that are required to ensure that you receive your order safely, unfortunately, unavoidably affect the shipping price. The shipping is handled by La Poste (French mail service) - please, contact me if you prefer a different shipping method. If you travel to Brittany, I can also arrange an in-person pick-up. I do my best to post all ready-to-ship orders within 2 working days. Please note that I do not carry responsibility for items lost or destroyed by postal services for reasons independent of me.
IMPORTANT: Please, check the shop policies and FAQs before ordering.
