Simone No. 1 Parchment

Simone no.1 in glazed Parchment embodies a quiet yet expressive materiality, its softly curved silhouette evoking the sensuous tactility of hand-formed vessels. Crafted in parchment-glazed stoneware, the sconce’s surface reveals a delicate craquelure, a subtle testament to the passage of time and the inherent unpredictability of the firing process. The gently asymmetrical lip lends a sense of fluidity, as if shaped by natural forces, while its concave form cradles a warm, ambient glow, diffusing light with a subdued, meditative presence.

In its interplay of light and shadow, Simone No.1 recalls the atmospheric depth of weathered limestone or the softened contours of eroded architectural fragments. Its sculptural restraint gestures toward a lineage of artisanal traditions, yet its execution remains deeply rooted in a commitment to material integrity, where imperfection is embraced as an integral part of the form.

Positioned within a spatial composition, the piece acts not only as a functional light source but as a contemplative object—one that invites the viewer to engage with its quiet luminosity and textural nuance. In this way, Simone No.1 exists at the intersection of craft and compositional clarity, balancing material authenticity with an ephemeral, almost poetic quality.
