Amphora

designer:
Tomáš Gabzdil Libertiny

design year:
2006

manufacturer:
Studio Libertiny, the Netherlands

notes:
This exaggerated replica of a Greek Nolan Amphora, originally used for storing honey, was created by Libertiny using a custom-made mould, which he then mounted on a two-axis rotational frame. Incorporating several different qualities of beeswax to achieve a patina of age, this contemporary Amphora - a heroic, neo-archeological artifact - is cast in a material originating from flowers, as well as shaped in a vessel meant to contain flowers.

The Amphora is reinforced on the interior with layers of fiberglass, and is mounted with polished stainless steel rings. The wooden pedestal is included in the work.
