About the art
Artist statement
A project inspired by ceramic handcrafted head vases from Sicily which are called Teste di Moro.
Our collection translates these masterpieces from ceramic into leather as a tribute to Sicilian ceramic maestros and to our homeland, with vibrant colours and perky elements.
Limiuna is the Sicilian dialect of lemons. Blessed by the Mediterranean sun, there is a big variety of lemon grown on the island and made it an iconic symbol of Sicily. The yellow tones and the archetypal vase shape produce an object that has formal harmony and bright character. The two bottles of lemonade have the facial features of the maiden and the moor and work as closure of the object and link to the distinctive character of our vase head.
To enjoy Limiuna charm, assemble all the parts by snap buttons and shape the vase into a unique multifunctional object:
- as a storage bin;
- as a vase cover after surrounding any flower pot with it;
- as a decorative piece after placing it on the table or shelf.
