TRAVEL PIECES – SIF GRAPHITE by Örn Porsteinsson GARDECO
Enjoy handcrafted art pieces by belgian designer brand Gardeco. Sif is a ceramic figurine designed by the Icelandic sculptor Örn Porsteinsson. It is part of a series of figurines inspired by Norse mythology, called the Travel Pieces. In ancient stories, Sif is believed to be the goddess of Earth and to be married to the god of thunder Thor. The figurine’s rounded biomorphic shape and natural colours are reminiscent of the spectacular Icelandic landscape, making it a charming and aesthetically pleasing statement piece. Sif is handmade in the ceramics studio Cores da Terra in Brazil and is available in five natural colours: café, musgo, marsala, white and graphite. Slight differences in size and colour may occur as a natural result of the artisanal manufacturing method.
Terra is Gardeco’s line of contemporary ceramic art objects. These pieces are manufactured in small family owned studios worldwide who understand the importance of a sustainable and ethical production process. The studios use small batch production techniques and traditional manufacturing methods paired with contemporary experimental approaches. This results in high quality, one-of-a-kind-products that meet any aesthetical and technical requirement. Skilled craftsmen transform the simplest piece of clay into a refined art object, striving for perfection in its purest form.
