The Ori Sculptures are a set of two bold ceramic art pieces that challenge traditional ideas of form and balance.
Their name comes from the Japanese verb Ori, meaning “to fold,” which is clearly reflected in the way each sculpture resembles clay caught in the act of being folded and twisted into unexpected, distorted shapes. Far from static, Ori is a study of transformation. The sculptures change dramatically depending on the viewpoint, creating new impressions as you move around them. Light and shadows emphasize their folds and curves, giving each piece a sense of motion and depth, almost as if the clay were still alive and in the process of shaping itself.
Hand-painted in Birch, a pale natural beige with a whisper of warmth, the surfaces carry subtle variations in brush strokes that bring softness, calm, and individuality to each piece.
Place them on a console, coffee table, or shelf. Together, the two sculptures form a dialogue contrasting yet complementary expressions that work just as well side by side as they do individually. Their strong presence allows them to stand as striking statement pieces, while their subtle textures and organic surfaces invite closer inspection.
Whether styled in a minimal setting or among other curated objects, the Ori Sculptures bring a dynamic and artistic presence to the room.
