Clear Cochlea Della Liberazione vase by Coki BarbieriDimensions: W 14 x D 14 x H 30 cm.Materials: Handcrafted stone made with Matera stone fragments, sedimentary rocks of the Italian Apennines and pure water, clear borosilicate glass.Cochlea della Liberazione - ClearCochleae vases collection is inspired by the life cycle of the snails and captures their growth when the invertebrate's body (represented by the curved glass) develops upwards from the embracing shell symbolized by semicircular shells handcrafted from fragments of historical stones only found in Matera (Città dei Sassi, UNESCO World Heritage, European Capital of Culture), recovered and reprocessed following a sustainable production cycle. The surface of the handcrafted stone piece is treated with an ecological substance developed by COKI. The glass and stone components are notglued and can be separated, disassembled, and ready for new uses.A precious objects collection made in Italy with natural and vegan origin materials, conceived by architectural and product designer Coki Barbieri and created by the local craftsmen to expand a new slow living awareness and surround oneself with a few objects, capable of staying alongside us over time.The climate emergency and increased future anxiety push our work to imagine alternative ways of living, producing, and consuming. For that Coki Barbieri uses notions of geology, chemistry, and design culture to create new products (and materials) from fragments and waste from natural products (such as stone and minerals).Coki Barbieri established her eponymous studio-workshop in Rimini in 2017, bringing to life a sustainable way of conceiving the product design for home. Nature inspires her environmentally conscious creations, which are imbued with emotional energy while maintaining their aesthetic impact and practical functionality. Coki collaborates with talented Italian craftsmen to produce one-of-a-kind homeware objects capable of unlocking new synergies between concepts, materials, and use.
